On another warm day I went to dog park right after work. There were a few people when I got there, but not anything like the day before. And it cleared out actually to the point where it was just me and one other person skating. Crazy. But for awhile it was popping a bit. Eric showed up after I had been there a bit. I skated alright, not great, but nothing to get upset about. I had a few flippers early. Heelflip, halfcab flip, fakie bigflip, backside flip, couldn’t get treflip though. Once again I couldn’t really focus on anything in particular and was enjoying the less crowded park doing lines. Got kind of close to crooks on the metal butter ledge followed by nosegrind on the little metal lurb. Eric showed around then. He was on some front tails, 5-0s, heelflips quick. He committed to heelflip back 50 on the little guy and got on it, but wasn’t locked in. Still sick. We did crooks on the tall side of the black ledge. I would also get crooks to fakie on it which was my one improvement of the day. Eric left. The park was almost empty at that point so I couldn’t get myself to leave. I tried no comply flips on the parking block until I got one. Then did a little hucking. Kick back tails on the little guy. Almost got into a couple. Got a slow switch front nose shove in a few tries, switch noseslide 270 shove first try. Super close to switch flips. It was fun ending the session hucking trying to learn stuff.
