Picked up Neil from the park ‘n ride early then did breakfast with Rob too.  Got to dog park which was a little wet so we started at Valmont.  Man I really don’t remember much about the Valmont part of the session.  Okay actually I don’t remember a single thing about it.  

At dog park I know Neil got a really sick line.  Nose manual, something to fakie, halfcab manual.  Rob was in demo mode.  I was still timid with my calf and avoided any fs grinds, did some dumb kickflips to fakie on the tiny propped up grate.  

Then we went to Wilville and brought Jesse with us.  We started at the manny pad/ledge area.  Rob got a no comply manual into it, I got a nose manual into it.  Some tricks were done on the ledge by all.  I struggled with slappy crooks after doing several two days before.  Jesse and Neil had some front 50 variations.  Then we went down to the rock area.  Neil had a cool wallride on steep rock, no comply up the 2.  I took a bit to get a really fun line of front 180 up the 2, fakie flip on flat, fakie rock jam, ollie the 3s.  Then everyone else ollied the lower 3 stair too.  Maybe all that huge stair jumping is why I was so sore.  Ha ha.  Totally awesome day though.  Felt amazing to skate and not hurt myself and be with great friends.
