After work and very little warm up I met Cass and Dave at a chill dog park session on a warm day. We had intended to skate Valmont, but it was mobbed with kids on scooters and striders doing laps on the pump track. So over to the dog park where initially there was only a few people and most of us were over 40. Dave was shredding the ride on grind to the curb to front board transfer. We hit the far side for a while. Cass had a nice kickflip over the curb. Dave feebled the little rail and a cool back nosepick 270 transfer over the parking block. I was not feeling good on my skateboard at all. I would get a few basic slides on stuff, one nollie front lip the little rail. Posed some flippers, but landed nothing, hated my setup. Dave had left and like 50 people in their prime showed up. Went over to Valmont and it was even worse. The worst part of spring is how crowded the parks get. Then out to dinner with birthday boy Matt.
