After work and a quick nap I met up with Dave at the nearby tennis court spot. There were a couple younger kids there initially, but they left. Things were arranged oddly, but we just skated them as is and it ended up being pretty fun. I had some new shoes and went for vulcs this time around and they felt super weird and I lacked any pop. There was a weird ride on round bar that was super low. Dave would do some good ride on grinds. I was too scared of it. I could barely ollie it even though it was only a few inches tall. There was a launch ramp over a little box which became our main physical challenge. We would both get it in lines a couple of times and it was fun. Basically we just rolled off it with speed to clear it, no cool high ollies or grabs. We both did some lines that were pretty good I thought. Although mine were full of tic tacs and no speed. I struggled with crooks again, partly because the ledges are sticky. Dave had a lot of kickflips, shoves, halfcab off the lower launch ramp, front 50 the ledge 2nd try, front noses. He was ripping. I couldn’t get halfcab flip, but got first try sketchy fakie bigflip. I liked some switch front noseslides, a fun front 180 off the lower launch ramp and a fakie 50 on the main ledge. Fun session.
