On a really hot day Kevin and I hit 303 and Emage then met Cass at a new park near his place. I wanted to like it because of the shade and banks, but it’s so poorly constructed it’s insane. The finish on the concrete is super rough and has jagged fiberglass pieces sticking out, the ledges have the largest bevels ever, there are huge cracks before all banks, the flat bars go into a wall, ugh. Great concept, but terrible implementation. We met up with Kevin, Ryan and Greg. I had some fun front tails over the super steep hip and well, that’s about it. I tried some other stuff, but it didn’t work out. Greg was ripping. Treflips, fakie bigspin boardslides. Cass did a few noseslides. Kevin had a couple lines with crooks, manual the pyramid and managed to noseslide the bank to ledge from flat. Dave L showed, but we left for a nearby school. This school is fun, but it was super hot out and it killed us. There was a manny pad to long 4 stair, parking blocks, and these crazy plastic benches that were about a foot from each other. Dave L was ollieing up the long 4 and took a couple slams. He may have manualled down all of them. Kevin ollied the nearby gap, 50d the benches. I was kinda all over, dreaming of lining out the whole place. Luckily I got a 270 flip pretty quick so that pressure was off me. I only got a manual into the 4 once, couldn’t kickflip up a curb, couldn’t no comply flip a parking block and couldn’t front 50 a bench. But I did have some fun noseslides and tried to line out noseslide to fakie to halfcab noseslide. I also got crooks. Kevin challenged me to a game of SKATE in the shade which was fun. I landed quite a bit, but not a cleaner 360 flip. I was happy with first try fakie varial flip and 2nd try f/s halfcab heel. Then we got some food and chilled for a bit. These hot days are rough.
