After Jake earned the new nickname “Generous Jake” buying us breakfast we went to dog park and got the skating started.  Neil hadn’t slept on his overnight flight, but that didn’t stop him from totally shredding.  Pop shove up, front shove off the pad, cabs over parking blocks, one foots off the grate kicker, front 50s, noseslides, nose manuals, 180s all in long lines that were amazing.  Rob had nose manual then no comply manual.  Jake skated the ledges for a while and then went in on front smith the barrier then tried to back it with blunt fakie but never got it. Jake also had an early on ‘Joe Hamilton’ that hyped the session.  I had some struggles, but got a few kickflips onto the pad and a questionable ollie over the orange cone off the grate.  Cass did a front shove back 50 which he had never done before amongst many good front noseslides, back 50s, 5-0s.  I know I am missing a ton, but it was a fun session.

Then we went to the wood research area which took some figuring out before we got going.  Neil was of course first to get up on it and would get some really good lines.  Up, up, ollie.  Up, noseslide fakie, cab off.  Up, front 50.  Joe got some splinters bailing ollies up which kind of set him back.  I was surprised I was getting up the ledge at all.  Had some fun noseslides and a couple kickflips off, a crooks with a 180 off.  Then we went around the corner to the tall area where Joe battled a boardslide transfer up then switch ride on grind halfcab out.  Sounds cool huh?  It was.  Then we got food, did a little hike and called it a session.
