lots of options

Met Dave and Matt at this spot. Riley, Scotty and Bernie were there because they were on campus earlier and saw Fuller skate by. They were just hanging out before leaving though. It was kind of just a warm up spot. I did a few slappy axle stalls and got close to slappy crooks. Dave almost did his patented slappy front 5-0s. Matt ollied the whole ledge. Then we went to check out some new stuff. Found a couple light poles to arrange laying down. Matt got a sick line. Ollie over a ledge, back 50 one light pole, treflip, blunt transfer the next one. Dave was getting into feebles. I tried one of those ‘lapover smiths’ Rob showed me at Spring Canyon a long time ago. Then we mostly hit this new ledge / manny pad spot right next to it that was amazing. Dave was skating so good. I haven’t seen him skate a ledge like that. Crooks and front 50s all easy in lines with manuals. We all struggled with nose manuals until Matt got it. He had some good lines. Ollies over ledges, front, back tails, back 5-0, nollie manual, those steezy treflips. I was feeling run down still and didn’t have my skate legs, but still had fun. Got a treflip then a front 50, but missed the nose manual. Did a f/s halfcab flip, some tic tacs, then ollied the corner of a little ledge and then a 2″ crooks on the ledge. Fun. Then we went to the fence ride spot that’s all the rage. Matt and I were so tired. I technically landed a couple fence rides, but they were so low. Dave had some rad fakie rides. Matt ollied the ledge both ways, but didn’t treflip the 12 stair in a line. Then we mostly just kinda skated it like a bank to low bar. Lots of front 5-0s. I did a mutant front crooks to fakie thing. On our way back Matt showed the skate stoppers by the rec center that they can’t stop the fun.
