I had the day off work. It was gorgeous outside. I met Fuzz at Crisis then met up with Sam Pino, Bernie, Dean, Ian at the newish Thornton park. I’ve never been there before and well, it rules. The bowl is a bit mellow, but the street stuff is epic. I had was done with the big board and switch wheels back to the 8.125 setup I had. It felt great cruising around the park. Everyone was killing it. Some highlights were Sam’s ollies popped out of banks, Dean boardsliding a round bar and fakie ollies out of banks, Bernie’s front baords down the little rail, Ian ripping quietly, Fuzz destroying everything. I skated hard and was adjusting to the smaller setup. I did manage a slappy back 50, slow front 50 off the 3 stair, noseslide down a hubba before most everyone left. Dean, Bernie and I skated the little manual pad with the wallrides around it. So fun. Bernie did halfcab manual to wallride to fakie. I might have done manual to wallride. Dean came closeish to learning nose manuals. Dean left and I battled quick up to kickflip wallride. Came super close, but never got one. Bernie did a couple fakie manuals fakie flip out. Almost fakie flip to fakie manual. We ended it on the hip where I managed a bigflip and I think Bernie did b/s flip. Fun times.
