On a cold night I went to go to the silver session at Square State. But when I got there no one was there and it was dark and locked up. Doh! So I went to look nearby and saw a new apartment complex with some two stairs and brand new ledges. I felt very out of it cruising around and there were a couple constructions workers left so I felt weird and avoided the benches but rode off the two stairs a few times. Kind of ollied this tiny gap. Dave showed. We explored a parking garage that basically had nothing in it but made for a fun hill bomb. Then ollied this little gap kind of and then saw the banked curb to curb which was infinitely harder to skate than it looks. Dave got the axle stall first and some nice kickflips. I had some ridiculous bails, an axle stall and kind of close to a couple nollie flips. Dave did a front pivot and by then Brian had responded that we could skate Square State so we went over there.

It was crazy having it all to ourselves. I had to warm up over again and pretty quickly went in on the tail jib bigspin. I had to come up with various ways of motivation to get there and eventually settled on ollies into the propped up little ledge. In the meantime Dave was landing trick after trick. Front 50 up and back 50 down the propped up little ledge was amazing. Fakie shove disaster was first try. I think he was 100% on pop shoves up the euro and then got a frontside one too. His lines were so good. I would eventually land my trick. I was really sore and was slamming on kickflips up the euro until I filmed them. Luckily I managed another funny slam. I was so sore though, like unskateable sore and it bummed me out. Dave finished off the session trying switch front shove to disaster but ended up doing it to back smith instead and rode out of it like a champ. What a fun night!
