After work rolled up into a heated dog park session. I kind of just played on the barrier for a bit and did a few lame basics to get the legs flowing. Luckily things died down pretty quickly and we had a pretty normal session. Paul was getting Verso on us with lines including nollie nosegrind 180s and ending in fakie 5-0 180s. He’s been working on skating faster and it showed. He even did a back nosegrind which I haven’t seen him do before. Rob was shredding nose manuals, manuals, back 50 no comply shove, crooks, front boards, did his lightwork demo, a lot more I’m probably confusing with the previous session. I went on to have an above average session for me and did a few things I was hyped on like first try kickflip up the c pad, front 50 and accidental 5-0 the bench, a really fun ollie the metal grate a-frame, crooks, front halfcab heel. Struggled to do intentional 5-0s and treflips though. I left feeling really good even though it doesn’t seem like it on paper.

On a hot afternoon I went to dog park to meet the crew. We started out at Valmont. I didn’t really do anything there, maybe a kickflip. Completely whiffed an ollie over the hip. Patrick had a sick back tail on the volcano. Went over to the grown up section pretty quickly. It’s hard to remember this session since I’ve skated there again since this one. I know I lost a best to Cass as he got a kickflip off the side of the kicker way quicker than me. Carleigh got one too so I had to get her back. It was really fun feeling. Cass continued his back 50 and 5-0 grinds. Rob was skating well. Poppy ollies off the kicker, crooks, nose manuals, back 50 no comply shove, front 50s. Cass and I played treflip for a while and I won with a sketchy one. I would get quite a few things that are good for me like kickflip onto the c pad, sketchy little crook on above the pad (but only a few inches), super slow front 50 the main bench, joe hamilton the c pad as well as front 50 back 180 out and front 50 shove. At the end Carleigh did another kickflip and Cass did back bigspin. It was a fun session and good times chilling at Picas after.
