Jake’s last weekend before knee surgery so he called for a dog park session. Rob, Paul, Cass and Ed, yes Ed showed. We skated for a few hours and then the next day I skated a few hours too so I might confuse some things between the sessions. Aki was there at first and shredding. Cass was killing it. He had kick back 50, kickflip off the grate kicker and almost kickflip front 50s on the curb. Paul had his Sean tricks, back 5-0 front 180 out, slappy crook 180, a lot. I had some flippers working early and some rare pop. Had a fun line of noseslide, ollie the tiny rail, b/s flip on flat. Had a nose manual and good feeling crooks. Front 50s were not easy. Saw Rob boardslide the tall bench, nollie front lip, manual the c pad, maybe nose manny too, back 50 back 180. Was really hyped when Ed showed, he was charging some ollies and manuals. Jake had some good front tails, crooks shove I think, skated the barrier so who knows what he was doing ha ha. At the end Cass, Paul and I went to play SKATE. It was funny Paul missed double or nothing on front shove, then triple, four and five and he was out. Cass and I went on, but Cass had to quit because it was getting so hot. We had gotten to the point of trying treflips which I then continued for like 30 more tries before giving up and leaving. Paul had done one and a couple other tricks. Fun session.
