Up early on a cool morning met up with Jake, Venture Dave and Cass. There were quite a few other older folks there as well. I think the average age was around 50. Crazy. Dave was already manualling the long pad, shoving and got to impossibles soon. Jake was still in pain so stuck to killing the transition like the crazy qp by the big O replica. Some basics in the ledge area had been had. I took too long to do a halfcab noseslide and even longer to ollie up onto one of the benches. My flip tricks were going alright. I had gotten close to halfcab heel for the first time in forever. Cass had a beautiful front nose down the hubba. Seriously amazing. I tried to get a run going of crooks the ledge, axle stall the qp, fly out treflip. Tried so many, but never got too close to a treflip. It really bummed me out. Cass, Dave and I hit the mellow bank for a while. Well, cass was lining out kickflips over the a-frame as well as some flippers on the bank. I managed quite a few flippers but only the basics. Kickflip fakie, fakie flip, halfcab flip, b/s fip and couldn’t quite get fakie bigflip. Dave had some nice switch shoves, switch 270, casual impossibles and fakie impossibles. Twas a good session. Hanging after at Rest was fun.
