After a chill night of chillin’ (chill) on the rooftop of our hotel in Seattle JP showed up around 10 am for a little “bachelor/skate” jam.  Unfortunately he had a rolled ankle and Chief had banged up his knee so it wasn’t as epic as it could have been.   We hit up a manny pad from Cory Kennedy’s part in Sasquatch a bit before hitting the park.  That thing looked easy to skate from the hotel, but it wasn’t due to a weird metal stopper on the edge.  Josh mannied it, but that was all that went down.Off to the park it was real sunny and hot.  There was some girls skate clinic to add some non-stoke to the session.  For a rolled ankle Josh was skating good.  Back smiths on the tight qpipe at the top, front rock on the big qp and lots of good ollies over the hips.  He also got front 50 and front tail on the bank to ledge.  I was sucking.  It took me awhile to have fun.  I got a noseslide on the bank to ledge, halfcab 50 transfer the weird spine thing, kickturns slightly on the window, blah.  I started doing more flatground on the top to start runs and that helped out.  I eventually got a run of fakie bigflip, kickturn, ollie, ollie, blunt transfer, halfcab 50 transfer then a b/s flip on the curved flatbank.  I failed at getting a front 50 on the bank to ledge for awhile, but landed a lot of 360 flips to setup.  At the end Josh worked on back tail the bank to ledge and I tried f/s flip on the bank.  We put them down eventually and that be the session.
