First park was Harmon. It was very windy, pretty warm out, crowded with teenagers with ear buds. I hadn’t slept well and drove 10 hours over the last two days so my body was shot. Needless to say it resulted in me skating like complete garbage. I mostly hit the top area with some ledges and smaller qps with mud surrounding it. My board would go in the mud on my first attempt at a bank ride to 50 on the weird little bank thats there. After quite some time I would get a couple slow lines. Crooks, rock fakie, halfcab noseslide. Boardslide the flat bar, switch front nose. It was nice having a new crowd because the kids thought the switch front nose was “super sick”. Ha. I had tried some other stuff, but mostly nothing worked. I was there a couple hours.

After stopping at Escapist I ended up at a nearby park. It has a very gnarly bowl section and then some mellow bank with a couple ledges and flatbars which was kind of a dream park. Too bad I was beat beyond believe and so sore. There were only a couple other skaters there equipped with the required earbuds. I couldn’t get a crooks even. I went to do a kickflip and could barely stand up from it so I left.
