Went to Valmont park after a rainy day. Initially the scene was cool. Just this girl carving around Z Boys style and me. I wanted to do the no comply big for my game of SKATE with Dave. And since I barely got the minimum fakie front crook I figured I shouldn’t go to hard. I did a few of the no comply shoves and they were all super fun. Kickflips were not fun, grinding transition was not that fun either. I did get close to my line of 50s down the pond, noseslide the bump to ledge then kickflip to fakie on the low part of a hump. But I couldn’t get the kickflip. It got me really frustrated. I also really struggled to ollie up the euro. The scene got less fun when cute carver girl left and was replaced by a non social dude and a rollerskating girl followed by a bunch of youth. I tried to end of halfcab flip on the bank, but instead just bashed my toe. I had worn vulcs to try and mix it up and while they felt fine for park skating I didn’t really like them.
