After logging off work for two weeks I met up with Dave and he was at Valmont park. It was pretty chaotic over there, but fun for a while. Dave was having some good ollies over the hip, lined out a frontside wallie on the barrier hip that was amazing. I got run into by a kid on a strider bike that had no idea what was going on. There was this dude there who did an absolutely perfect switch treflip over the hip that was super inspiring. So I spent a while posing switch b/s flips over the hip that I swear feel doable. Dave tried some switch tres too and made them look possible.

Over to dog park Sean would show up. Dave was skating at a high level. Jumping, front 50s on the bench, manuals around the corner, front boards to fakie, no comply pole jam. I know I’m missing a lot. We jumped the grate gap pretty easily. Sean did Sean things super casual. It’s cray . It was a pretty crowded and heated session, lots of people skating hard. I was skating absolutely terrible then randomly turned everything around with one silly little noseslide to fakie up onto the manual pad that set me up perfectly for switch front nose off and I did it. Been wanting to do that line for months and it just randomly came first try out of nowhere. Stoked me out. Shortly after I was trying the crooks then kickflip line and needed some kodak courage and Sean was kind enough to film it. Right after that is when Dave did the no comply pole jam. Fun Friday.
