Up on a nice morning before the family was ready for breakfast I went to Valmont for a short session. There was snow in all the bowl and pump track area, but the main area was dry. Dog park was completely snowed/iced in. I was feeling really out of it as I hadn’t had any coffee. Then a family came with two toddlers, one of which was basically learning to walk. I don’t know about you, but when I think of places to learn to walk, skateparks seem like the safest place. I struggled to stay positive for a while, but I did a few things. Some ultra basics on the weird rainbow rail by the shark fin, kickflip to fakie the mellow bank then switch 180 the hip, noseslides the back of the bank, some little ollies on the hip. Nothing fancy, but for an early session dodging toddlers it was alright.

(setup 5/10 null 8.3 keyhole, jessup ultra grip, slappy lights 8.5 indy 92 bushings, spitfire f4 99a classic orange/black, new balance numeric 440v2 wide size 12 brown with half 574 vulc insole and currex runpro insole)
(pain level 5/10)
