skate journal: old guy session at square house (may 4, 2022)

On a rainy night I arrived to Square House. I had been feeling a little under the weather but the session would get me feeling better. I never ended up doing a run on the ramp as Dave was getting going on the street and I joined him. There was a new bank to curb and little qp that was interesting. Both Dave and Saul fell on the kink at the bottom of the bank. We wouldn’t get a whole lot on it although the young kids that were there were able to line out a bunch of tricks. Bryan showed and we mostly lined out the new little ledge for a while which was fun. I think at one point I had a line of kickflip to fakie, halfcab noseslide, switch noseslide 270 shove. I would also get really close to noseslide 270 shove and somewhat close to halfcab noseslide 270. Bryan struggled to get his patented fakie bigspin tailslide, but when he did he added 270 shove out. Eventually the ledge session came to an end and we were lining things out. Dave had joined back, Tom was there as was Kyle. Tom had good back tails and switch back 50s. I tried a line of crooks the bump to ledge then noseslide 270 shove and still couldn’t get it. Dave was shredding did shove up the euro like 2nd try, lining out the bank to curb to bigger qp and the bank. At the end Brian watched as I could not land a slow treflip and Dave could learn noseblunt slides across the pyramid. Fun session. I’m missing a lot of the action but it feels like an eternity since I wrote it.
