Wanting to be lazy on a cold breezy night I went out to the garage for about an hour. I skated my 8.25 slace board. I had gone out with the intention of trying front bigs, but instead after I did a few basic flippers I settled on varial heels. And kInd of got one. I was really surprised when I landed on it, felt cool. I hucked some other flippers too. Nollie b/s flip and switch b/s flip which were not close. Got one bad 270 flip. Happy I skated.

Early on I went to Lafayette which would serve as a meetup spot for Nullers and hopefully a little old guy session. Brian had already left though. I had cruised around a little, almost got run into by a mongo pushing longboarder and Dave and Sean showed. Sean manualled the little pad all casual. Dave said we should get his back. Dave went nose manual and would get a few, one even followed by a crazy ride on grind up the shark fin. I never did got a manual. I did have a fun little switch noseslide shove followed by noseslide to fakie on the bump to ledge. Sean had some good back 5-0 180s. Jack showed and we bounced.

First spot in Brighton was a mellow little ditch with a flat bar in it, a micro hip and some retaining walls that could be stalled on. Sean couldn’t quite get a f/s flip on the hip. He’ll refer to that as ‘the one that got away’ forever ha ha. Jack slammed hard on some feeble 180 attempts. I couldn’t get a b/s flip and struggled to get a sketchy treflip, but it was fun. Garrett got a really good boardslide 270 shove.

Then to a flat bar that Joe and Sean skated. Garrett skated flat. I sat around. Then to a brick bank where I only barely carved it, but Sean and Jack got buck.
