skate journal: evergreen park for memorial day (may 29, 2023)
Off to Evergreen on a nice day. Rob, Neil, Joe, Damon, Jake, Damon, Garrett and then the Emage dudes also showed up. I didn’t have a good session. Joe, Cass and I battled b/s flip the hip. Cass was first of course. Joe and I both had questionable ones before getting good ones. Mine felt great and was about the only trick I really liked for the day. Oh I guess kickflipping from the bump onto the hip was fun too. We got to see a Rob bean plant over the hip, some manuals and back 50s. Damon did a million tricks over the hip, often in lines. Cass hurt his back. Neil popped up and over things with ease, manuals, 50s, one foots. Joe had a lot of grinds, also halfcab flip the hip. Jake was the only one of us that did tricks on the steep qp. Garrett got over some initial jitters then proceeded to casually kill it. Fakie tres over the hip, back 50 up the ledge drop down to the curb, nollie back heel, back 360. Shredding. Fun session, but I was definitely sore and tired.
