Carleigh, Jack and I met Brian and Neil at the old Lville tech center bank to wall spot. My OCD about board sizes had taken over and I went big, setup a 8.38 deck with some Thunder 149s I found in my garage a few days ago. Yeah I suck, I’ll give my 3 day old 8.1 to someone worthy though. Jack and I found a nearby different bank/dork spot that was super fun. He was doing cool lines of ollie over a curb, ollie back over it, then bigspin pivot to fakie. Not sure he got the big piv fak. I had a couple back tails, front board stalls that were fun. Then we went to filming as Brian wanted to do alley oop wallride. He got super close, but broke his board which messed with him. That’s what happen when you don’t skate Nulls. Jack on the other hand was on a null, and he got a banger of a trick. Ha. I was feeling out the board and rolled my ankle on a nollie shove. Ugh. Somehow and I have no idea how, it didn’t hurt. I guess having rolled it numerous times over the years helps out for something. I tried a couple wallrides, but never really committed to trying it. Brian and Neil left then we just tried manny tricks over and over. Jack did some neat balancing acts. Carleigh scraped the crap out of her tail. I might have done nose manny front 180 out, but I think I touched. Posed nollie bigspin out a couple times. Manualled a taller part of the pad. Couldn’t nose manny it though like Jack did every try. We left for trivia night, but Jack and I skated a curb in front of the liquor store for a few minutes. It ruled.

Jake and I rolled to Lafayette and met Fuzz, Neil, John and the Old Man Army was there too. Upon arrival the park was crowded with the things that make skateparks lame. Lurkers, bikers, scooters, etc etc etc. Fuzz and I almost bailed on it, but we stuck around. People started with a flyout ollie over a rock. I wasn’t in for that and just dorked around the park for awhile not landing anything. I couldn’t even do a fakie flip on a mellow bank or front 50 the bump to ledge. I got in the snakerun action after awhile. Everyone else was doing ollies over the rounded hip. I did a kickflip to the upper bank. Kind of a kickflip wallride, but it’s too mellow to call it a wallride I think. Then it started raining and a short intermission was taken. After that John and Fuzz played pivot to fakie. Jake, Neil and I played on the tight bank at the entrance of the park. Neil was trying front 50s, but not so lucky. Jake did back blunt which is ridiculous and attempted a few front blunts. I got a few basics and added front feeble and front pivot. I was really hyped on the pivot. I was also doing some little b/s flips n the mountain bank. Fun. Everyone went over to the little qp and I stuck at the entrance. I kind of got a line of wallie up the qp, 360 flip on flat, turn around, ollie off the qp, b/s flip on the bank then front 50. I was going for front pivot and the 3 flip had a 3 point landing. Tight. My board was driving me nuts though. It felt so small when I would ollie off the qp and kickflips were feeling weird. Maybe I’ve finally got my board control back enough that I want a bigger board again. I went over to the little bowl. Did a couple tricks like hurricane and front feeble. Neil snaked everyone. John rips. Jake did a back blunt. Fuzz did back 5-0 to back d and a bunch of other steez. Then we had a couple beers at a nearby bar and called it a night.
