A little crisp in the morning, but really nice once we got going. Cass and I were there first and there was only a few people skating. We had a solid couple hours before it got crowded. Now that doesn’t mean we warmed up quickly. Ha ha. I was still sore from playing ball a couple days ago. I had new shoes and was struggling to find the flick with them. I basically spent the whole time trying two lines, which I would get. The “warm up” line that took way too long. B/s kickflip on the little chip, crooks the little ledge, backside flip the hip. Then the next one which wasn’t supposed to be the only other line I got, but soreness got to me. Kickflip to fakie the little chip, switch front nose the ledge, fakie bigflip the hip. I had done some boardslides on the little rail and failed to 50 the bump to ledge, also failed to ollie the hydrant mostly because I can’t push that hard with my achilles yet and I kind of hurt it. Argh. Cass had some good front boards on the flat bar and then fakie front boards. He had some poppy ollies over the a-frame and kickflips over the hip. He came close to bigflip over the hip. Sean came and did some ollies and 50s. But oh man they were sick! The long front 50 was sketchier than he made it look, the uphill 50 gap to the bank was NUTS. We then got some tacos and checked out a nearby school, that had nothing more than a weird bank to curb that I did a pivot on.

Cass and I arranged a Boulder session as the weather was great. But by the time we arrived the wind was raging pretty hard. We still had a good session though. Kind of early on we hit the little qp and it was fun we rattled off some tricks. I had done front d then kickflip to fakie. Cass was doing good back smiths so I filmed it then did the front d to sugarcane then luckily got the kickflip. Cass had some good tailslides. I didn’t have much else but a lot of noseslides and I tried a bunch of noseslides to fakie then “cab” flips over the mound. I say “cab” because its’ really only like 270. I got pretty close a few times. Cass was getting some good crooks on the bench. And we had a Rob sighting! He came in for a bit and cruised around before a big gust sent him on his way.
