It had rained while I was at work and dog park was clearly out, but I drove north and it was dry at Blue Skies. Dave would come meet up. My warm up was pretty brutal, I was really sore. But it turned into a pretty good session, we tried some new stuff. I struggled with flippers though, like really bad. Tried to line out halfcab flips and could not get one to save my life either way. I would get a heelflip, but couldn’t get treflip or really any other trick. We did some switch front noses on the flat bar. Dave boardslid the dragon rail. We both got two switch front boards on the flat bar. Daves were better. Dave had quite a few long lines starting with solid front 50 180s on the ledge, halfcab boardslide the flatbar, but took a long time to get the varial flip to fakie. Which is odd after he did kickflip and fakie flip both first try. I had a few slow front 50s on the the ledge, struggled with kickflip to fakie after on the bank. But did manage a line of switch noseslide down the little escalator on the ledge, kickflip to fakie the bank, switch front nose the ledge. Got one switch noseslide 270 shove, but missed the kickflip after. I got quite sore so I gave Dave some kodak courage and he got the varial flip to fakie. And he did it really good.
