Brian, Neil, Rob, Greg, Jam and I headed up to the Fort to hit Northside and check out the contest.  It was crowded which it should be.  I didn’t even skate the park between runs like others did.  I basically only skated flatground which was fun.  There was a bunch of games of SKATE with Skelly and John too.  All were fun.  I hardly ever land anything.  Rob and I skated the little slanted ledge near the park.  It was really dry, but we still had a blast.  I got into a couple hurricanes, but didn’t commit to a land.  Tried front smiths and back feebles, but since it didn’t grind I never landed them.  Tried a bunch of tailslides but only got up on the top good a couple times.  Next up we went to the new pool which was also crowded.  It looks really fun, but the numbers were too much for me.  Rob and I just skated flatground and a plastic parking block which ended up being really fun.  Rob was doing really sick ‘slappy smith lapovers” and grinding really far.  I started trying it and managed to land one or two.  Fun.  Next up was a game of SKATE with John and Andy from MRKT.  What a fun game.  John has 360 flips every try and Andy was close to full cab flips.  I somehow won.  I think the tricks I landed were pop shove, kickflip, halfcab flip, fakie flip, 360 flip, fakie varial flip, frontside halfcab flip amd maybe something else.  I had T.  Even though I mostly skated flat all day it was a super fun day.  Ok wait, who am I kidding, skating flat all day is why the day was so fun.  Ha!
