After a cold and cloudy start to the day I hit the curbs for awhile while Jack and Sean figured out where to skate. I had some good fun. Got the basic slappies and started piecing together some harder lines. Was trying slappy front crook, front slappy, front shove off curb cut to the street. Somehow I kept not rolling away from the front shove though. I blame cupsoles. Oh, I had tried the stock insoles again. Also going the other way I was doing kickflip then slappy then trying kick back tails. I got close, but no cigar. Then I went to Wilville and we skated some flat and the manny pad for awhile. Sean may have gotten fakie flip then halfcab manual. Jack did some frontside flips, nollie flips, maybe switch heel? He was trying front shove nose manual. I didn’t do much. Had gotten a few super slow fakie flips, almost a halfcab flip, almost a nose manual before we left.

Then we went to this building. I posed some back 50s. Sean ollied a fun bump over a bush. Jack battled and stomped a gnarly wallride.

Then we walked for a bit and ended up at Southern Hills. Jack had first try fakie nosegrind. Man I need to learn that. My legs were shot though. I struggled to get 50s on the first step, noseslides and a couple crook jibs on the bench. Jack would get some more tricks, but was pretty beat after the wallride battle. It was rad seeing Sean’s warmup process to get through the basics. Front 50, front 5-0, front tail, front nosegrind, front lip. All so perfect. Then I filmed him get a rad manual trick. Front 180 nose manual 180 out. Dude rips. I got cold from sitting and filming at the end and felt sick after. Winter sucks to film. Actually, just filming so much sucks too.
