After two days of loading up furniture, boxes, everything of my mom’s into a U-Haul I had some free time. So I went to the park for 30 minutes to say goodbye. I don’t like that park much. Okay, I really dislike it. And it never helps when there are lots of scooter/strider/mountain biker/one wheelers. This would be no exception. At first it was just two scooter kids and there dad was even cool and trying to teach them to take turns and to avoid going right in my path. Did they listen? Nope. My first warm up run was a fly out kickflip, rock ‘n roll, front grind around the very mellow love seat, pop shove fakie on the mellow bank. The kickflips took too long. Later on I would get a front 180 out of the steeper fly out then a fakie bigflip. I did some fun boardslides on an I beam. Some switch front noseslides on another beam and tried to get f/s halfcab heel after which I never landed. Had some really fun longer feeling back 50s on the long qp and fun carves around, but most were interrupted by kids not having any awareness that a 200 pound old man was coming down the qp he went up. Ugh. Anyway, I think that was it. Goodbye to that park.
