Oh man. I haven’t edited the video yet and thinking back on this day I cannot believe I thought it was a good idea to try it. It had snowed overnight and we needed to squeegee the park just to even skate. I had skated for what seemed like an hour before filming even started and I was feeling a great deal of anxiety about the whole thing. Finally I just started asking people to film and it began with Paul showing me up on some slappy crooks variations. Things were going incredibly slow for a while and I think after like 3 hours I was only at like 18 tricks. But then Jack arrived as a mostly full time filmer and it really got going. I think my favorite personal trick was kickflipping onto the C ledge and also a heelflip 3rd try. A couple of my favorite show ups were 180 a parking block then Sean 180’d the hydrant, me doing fakie 50 then Rob doing halfcab 50. After about trick 40 I started to go cross eyed due to being dehydrated with bright sunlight. I was a mess and kind of stopped caring if people were showing me up or not and just did a few more tricks to get to 50 or more (hopefully). Brutal day. I will not be doing it again. Especially because the next decade would be 60! Huge thanks to my friends for participating in such a silly idea, skating all day and filming. Video soonish.
