Met up with Rob, Dave and Mike at Frederick pack after dinner. The drive went quicker than normal, but Rob and Dave were already warmed up and charging it. I saw Rob halfcab boardslide the ledge and front tail the bank to curb right away. Dave doing ride on grinds around most of the curb like it was nothing. I had some drive, but it didn’t translate to good skateboarding. I struggled with kickflips. The only thing I was happy with was a manual on the weird pad under the tall ledge followed by a kickflip up onto the little manny pad. Mike had some nice boardslides around the curb, front noses, maybe front shove fakie. Much to our surprise Donnie showed up and slayed the park. Like for real. Front slash the wallride bank, kickflip back d the bank to curb, all kinds of crazy lines, dude was on fire. There was even a couple of other adult skaters that were fun to skate with too. At one point Rob did a line of back 180 onto the manny pad and halfcab boardslide off, turn around and boardslide transfer onto the pad and back 180 off. Also bigspins and no complies on the steeper bank. I managed one really bad treflip, some noseslides the bump to ledge and couldn’t b/s flip the hip even when I was totally committing. Also couldn’t ollie up the tall ledge. My knees didn’t necessarily hurt too bad, but man they are swollen. Ugh. I somehow didn’t really see Dave much. I saw lots of casual ollies up the euro, boardslide 270s, crazy lines around the bank to curb area. I really do like this park, hope to skate it again soon with knees that work better.
