On a beautiful warm fall day I went to meet Rob and Dave. I arrived first and started at the dog park and was kind of in a groove. Rob showed and went to do some warm up carves when Dave showed too so I went over to the park. Rob was smart to avoid it as there was a million bikers and toddlers on striders or scooters. It was maddening at times. Dangerous too. I was trying a line of kickflip to fakie then halfcab flip on the shark fin, then changed to 180 off the kicker to start. Came kind of close, but never got the halfcab. I had tried some other random stuff, before sticking with no comply pole jam then kickflip on the weird lumpy hip. Took a while to get the pole jam and the timing with all the randoms looping around the kickflip timing was weird too. Oh well, it was really fun when I landed it. Dave had tried a bunch of shove tail bashes over the hip, but never quite got it, some good ollies on the lumpy hip, switch back 180 the hip, kickflips on the bank, no comply pole jam, casual tricks that he does. Then we went over to the dog park as it got dark. I got a couple bad boardslides up the angled bar to manny pad, but started to chill since my achilles started hurting. It had felt really good for a while so I had no problems stopping. Although my knee pain is still pretty severe. Dave however would get it to manual really quick and then also to fakie with a f/s halfcab off.
