After a big breakfast on a cool, but luckily not windy, morning we ended up at Valmont park. It was Joe, Keegan, Ben and me. We cruised around a bit, then a game of SKATE on the flat bank ensued. I had gotten a couple letters on tricks I shouldn’t like fakie flip and b/s flip. Otherwise it was fun. I didn’t do so good at anything really. Keegan was ripping it.

Then we went over to dog park and started with a game of SKATE that took a long time and Joe eventually beat me. I had a fakie bigflip that made me happy, but that was about it. Didn’t really do much more than that. Keegan had a nice noseslide on the very tall bar then a good sack on a boardslide on the lower one. Joe made his moves. I spent a long time getting a nollie tail 270 shove on the lurb. At least the make felt good.

Wind kicked in a bit so we went to square state. We mostly skated the mini. I had one run with some basics then spent time outside playing around on the new ramp. The front 5-0 into the bank was fun. Dave and Keegan did kickflip rock fakies. Brian is fun to watch, did some patented front truck bashes, front feeble fakie, carve grinds, so fun to watch.

Lastly we ended up at a nearby ditch and Will showed. I had a boardslide then axle stall, but couldn’t quite get a front tail. Will had some great f/s ollies. Keegan rattled off a few tricks, nollie back tail was sick. Joe went ham on kf rock and would eventually get one. We got dinner after that, we were all exhausted.
