Got to dog park around 9:30. Eric was there, Rob would arrive shortly. We did some warming up then mostly stuck to the newer curb high ledge. Aka the only thing I can back 50. Ha ha. I was hyped to get a back 50 shove out and a very pivoted back 50 front 180 out. Rob got a back 50 body varial out, first try back 180 fakie 50 to fakie. Eric back 50 back 180 out, manuals, close to heelflip back 50, fakie back tail. I did quite a few flippers and was stuck on getting a trick I’ve wanted to do forever – fakie front 50 halfcab out. I was close right away, but the weird angle iron messed me up. I also tried a bunch of front nosegrinds and never quite got one (had a few with the back wheels touching on the pop out). It took me about an hour to get the halfcab out. Dave F would show up shortly after that and do it within 10 minutes. He wouldn’t let me film it for our challenge though. He’ll do something harder. Dave L and Kevin showed shortly before I needed to leave. I had taken too long to get a front 50 on the cinder block ledges and gotten a fakie nosegrind somewhat quick. That’s about all I can remember. I had worn my 440s and liked them this time, they had good heeflips.
