My last day of being 35.  I’m feeling pretty old these days, but Jason is older than me so I have no excuses.  We went to the long metal ledge that is really good frontside.  Warming up sucked as usual and I was pretty frustrated at times, but kept skating.  I got front 50 shove in a crappy run, a few back crooks and came close but never landed a bunch more like front 50 kickflip out which I haven’t done in forever.  Nate and Jason did front lips all good.  Next we went to the US Bank brick bank spot.  It’s kinda like LA High, but steeper, taller and not as good.  Either way it was still a blast.  Nate and Jason killed that place.  They both got super long back boardslides.  Jason did a pivot to fakie for crying out loud as well as back tailslides over a hip.  So ridiculous.  I started slow but managed to start having a blast and got a few tricks.  Back boardslide (only a few inches compared to the multiple feet Nate and Jason were doing them), back feeble over the edge, back nosepick, back axle to fakie, ollie to frontside wallride trying to be all Grant Taylor but it wasn’t at all, and ended with back smith stall.  Super fun session.  Jason and Nate killed it.
