On a warm, but breezy afternoon I met Dave at SC. Actually I almost ran him over in the parking lot because he tried to startle me and succeeded. Ha. We started on the curb and had some good slappy starts, but Dave beat me to kickflip. I’m not sure if I ever rolled away from a clean slappy front crooks, but other slappies worked, including switch front slappy. Dave had a great slappy front crook to fakie, slappy crook shove, switch slappy crook. Then we went into the park which wasn’t too crowded. Other than a couple 50s and noseslides across the bump to ledge I pretty much just tried backside flips over the hip. I got a sloppy one somewhat quick, then a clean one in a few tries after that. I made the mistake of trying to get 3 of them. I would land on like 20, but never roll away again and ultimately just gave up. I can blame the wind a little. Dave was totally shredding with some really cool lines. Tricks like 5-0s on the qp down onto the bench, front 3 over the hip and a lot more I’m forgetting now. He tried a bunch of front bluntslides on the hip, but also ended up giving up. He can totally blame the wind. Mike had some really good halfcabs over the hip. I missed most of Saul and his slappy session. Saul lined out an exit over the noping. It was a really fun session even though I spent way too much time trying a trick I had already landed.
