Earlier in the day I met up wtih Jack, Dan, Joe and Scotty P at research wood ledge spot. They were mostly done skating, I did a couple boardslides/noseslides that was about it.

After dinner I picked up Dave then Nate and we went to an almost deserted Frederick park. We all kind of cruised around a while, warming up our different ways. Nate had never been to the park before. I had a nollie front big over the hump first try that was fun. We settled in on the manny pad/euro pad area for most of the session. Nate and Dave had already manualled and nose manualed the pad. I was 2/10 on ollies up the taller pad. 0/1 on kickflips off. Dave and Nate also did the quick on to the lower pod then 50 the upper one. Both did it so well. I got ollie up, ollie up which was new for me I think. Those dudes were both trying front board shove transfers and getting close so I set my phone up. Nate would actually get 3 of them, the 3rd of which was so good. I took a while to get anything and was really struggling. Starting to huck slow flatground in between tries helped me feel better even if I only did a couple basics. The nose manual took me forever. Dave was so close to the front board shove transfer. Crazy the lights shut off and we were still trying. Those dudes rip, watching the footage man I skate way too slow. It was a fun session though.

Rob and I met up on campus and rolled around a bit to find a spot. We ended up at a narrow little bank next to a 3 stair right on the main road. Rob had some crails and a tight narrow nollie bigspin. I did shove fakie and took a bit to get kickflip to fakie. Then we ended up at Baker ledge which surprisingly had no cars and the jersey barrier was gone. Awesome! The ledge wasn’t in the best shape, but we still had a good time. Rob got manny right away, maybe nose manual too, tried halfcab manual and was close. He had front noseslides, halfcab noseslides, front board pop outs. I couldn’t get a manual to save my life, don’t even think I got a clean nose manual. I did get close to a line of nose manual 180 then fakie 50 the ledge. Other tricks were noseslides, switch noseslides, kickflip up the curb.

After some food, a nap, and the weather clearing up I went across the street to the school for a bit. Did some slappies on the side to warm up then went in trying a line that’s on my list for a bit. Kickflip into one of the curb cuts then 360 flip out of the next one. Got quite a few kickflips and committed to a few treflips, but ran out of time.
