Got to Lafayette park around 7. It was date night, tons of high schoolers mingling, vaping and some shredding. Kevin had been there for over an hour and was already totally ripping. The first thing I did was drop in on the tall part of the flow bowl and almost died and felt a ton of pain in my knee. Great. Kevin did the nosegrind right after that. Then the front tail like it was nothing. I was pretty out of it initially. Kevin was doing slappy crooks, back d’s on the new qp. Then we went into flyout mode. I got a first try kickflip that felt good. Almost got treflip 3rd try, but instead I battled it for around 30 tries. Kevin did the nollie flip every time I think, the nollie b/s flip took a few tries. Kevin left. I skated for awhile even though my knees were in a lot of pain. Did a line of wallie the corner of the rock, axle stall the new qp, kickflip to fakie the little bank. After struggling to get up the manny pad I decided it was time to go home.
