Went to meet Dave at this ledge around 7. I arrived first and started at the nearby bank. I slammed on a rock on my first roll up, did a few nollie/fakie shoves and Dave showed. We went right to the ledge. Dave slammed on a rock right away. Dang the streets was trying to take us out. Warming up was not easy, but I was on a smaller board and determined to start my flip trick resurgence. It actually went pretty well as I did tricks after warm up tricks like noseslide (kickflip after ), noseslide to fakie (fakie flip after), switch front nose (halfcab flip), crooks (almost heelflip). I didn’t really get any more flippers although I was close to treflip. The ledge is taller than it looks, the manny pad way harder to hit than it looks. Dave had put some wood on the stairs as a way to get speed for the manny pad. He was doing lines from the ledge, turn on the stairs, up the manny pad, then the ledge again. He had a full pull or two. I think switch noseslide 270 shove, frontside kickturn the stairs, ollie up, nollie off, crooks to fakie the ledge. Bangin! He also had one with a front 180 off and halfcab noseslide. He did some solid front 50s and front 50 180 too. My ledge game was okay for me although lots of tricks were done with very little speed as I was so tired for some reason. I was happy to get a few back 50s and was somewhat close to shove out. I came remotely close to manual, close to kickflip off. My legs were done when it started to get dark and I struggled with halfcab noseslides. Dave did a bunch of really fast noseslides to end it. Fun times, would be more fun with more energy.

Feeling kinda blah I ended up at dog park in the morning to meet Bernie and Eric.  I haven’t seen Bernie in a long time so was super hyped.  I hadn’t done a whole lot before Bernie showed up.  He claimed to be rusty, but was quickly doing front smith 180s on the cinder block ledges.  Eric had some long crooks, but not sure he got out smooth, goot front tails, front 5-0s.  I didn’t get anything of note, although committed to every little back 50 at least.  Eric left, Bernie and I played a game of SKATE.  It took forever.  He was rusty, but I had no excuse.  I ended up getting a couple tricks, I don’t even remember who won.  It was probably Bernie.  

Then I met at Zuni park feeling really tired and bailed some axle stalls.  Garrett was ripping, lofty kickflip.  Kevin had switch lip.  Bo feeble the big rail.  Hayden got the feeble too I think.  Jack was about the only one skating the non 3′ qp section.  We went to a gnar bank with a gap in it.  I just did some axle stalls on the mellow side.  Kevin got an ollie over the gap.  Jack, Hayden and Garrett got some bangers.  Went to another bank spot.  I tried to boardslide the bank to curb, but it was too dry and wax wouldn’t change that.  Jack had some cool tricks like front 50 to back 50, ollie over the curb to bigspin to tail.  Joe did a super sick front crook to fakie and almost got it switch.  Kevin came close to front 50.  Garrett got noseslide to fakie.  Bo tried quick up to 360 flip, but never got his feet on the tre.  Man it was hot.
