Got out of work on a pretty nice friday afternoon and met up with others at Rock Creek. Neil and I arrived at the same time. We took a few runs on the ramp to get the legs going which was fun. Then Blake showed and after a little more ramp skating we played a game of SKATE. I wasn’t landing much and Neil ended up winning. He got me with fakie f/s bigspin, 43 shifty, a couple others and halfcab one foot was the last trick. I was close. Then Jack and Carleigh arrived and we skated the ramp some more which was fun. Neil and Blake mostly chilled. Carleigh was landing lots of front d’s and got a line with a back d in it too. Hell yeah Carleigh! I had quite a few tricks for me. I did some tiny fs ollies and maybe my first real fs smith grind. Jack said it was a real one so it counts! Then we skated flat again. Everyone working on their own tricks. Blake has heelflips good and got one. Maybe a back heel too. Neil kind of got bs flip and maybe a heelflip. Carleigh battled heelflip for awhile, but stomped a mean one. Also came close to clean b/s flips. I got a lot of my tricks. B/s flip, fakie bigflip, a not so good treflip and ended with a nollie tre that resembled my Off The Couch nollie tre with some toe drag and phone calls from Busenitz. Then it was off to Crisis for the premiere of Dork Vid #1 and Parque 2. So much fun. Jack, it’s an honor to be in your video. You are the best.
