skate journal: fun silver session with gray, dave, ashton (march 5, 2024)
Went to Square State on a cool night hoping to meet Dave and it not being too crowded. Much to my surprise there was only Gray and Jordan when I got there. Dave would show up pretty quick and then Ashton awhile later “who just turned 30” ha ha. Dave and I kind of warmed up on the small bank to curb area. He was trying fakie back tail but couldn’t get it up there. I had some crook jibs, front smith, some boardslides. Dave did the ridiculous fakie crooks transfer pretty quick into the session. I would shortly get my line with the slappy then kickflip to fakie. There was a 20 minute stretch where my knee felt fine and I didn’t think about it and it felt great. Even if I bailed several kickturns for reasons I don’t understand. Dave and I couldn’t get slappy crooks on the wedge to bank. Gray did some slappys on it though. Also some nice kickflips to fakie on the qp and fakie ollie up the euro which is nuts. Ashton showed up and made a joke that he had just turned 30. He ripped. Back 3s up the euro, weightless airs, kick back tails, kick back suski, back smiths. Dave did the boardslide 270 several times. Ended with kickflips and the pivot shove fakie. Fun night.
