Arrived to a very crowded park as darkness set in. Thank god for lights! I played on the Quartapotty doing basics. Darin arrived shortly after me and was doing the same. Then a bunch of people joined. I was feeling pretty good with new grip tape (MOB this time around) and softer wheels on the qp. Nolan, Riley and I tried backside kickflips. Nolan got his real quick. 20 tries later Riley landed a really good one and I got his back with one too. I was hyped! My next go on the qp I tried to do front disaster to sugarcane. I slipped out and slammed incredibly hard for me. This pretty much ended my session. I tried to keep skating, but I couldn’t really get it going. I filmed Nolan do every blunt he could in one line. Riley was hurting. Fuller had shown up so I tried to skate with him and Darin on the qp/blue ledge combo. I just did no ollie noseslides and posed kickflip back tails though. I saw Darin do a bluntslide. Dave with some great frontside nosegrinds.
