This spot has been in the back of my head for awhile. Ollie and I had drove down from the mountains and we had a family picnic then were lounging around (okay I was taking my old man nap) when Rob said he wanted to skate for a bit. I mentioned this spot and it was on. Ollie wanted in. Ollie and I got there first. After I went down it a couple times I wasn’t sure if Ollie should cause it’s kinda fast. But he thought it looked find and it didn’t even look like it concerned him at all the first time. Nice. Warming up took awhile for me. About the time Rob showed up I was finally feeling good and had a fun line of nose manual to the downhill, turn around ollie on and do a kickflip to fakie. Ollie was having fun. He had one or two legit manuals across the top. From the bottom he would ollie to rock, then lift up, take a push, shove his board halfway up the bank, let it come down, jump on it then back 180 off the curb. So awesome. He also had a really good slam trying a 360 body varial and Wilson’d hard. He laughed it off quickly. Rob seemed to warm up pretty quick. We skated from the bottom for awhile. He had ollie up, back 180 one foot, back 180 off. Ollie up, bs flip. Ollie up, boneless, no comply, etc. And the nice smith grind above through both stoppers and the totally dry concrete. Or maybe it was a stall. I had kickflip to fakie, b/s flip, no comply bigspin, no comply shove to fakie, boneless. A good feeling treflip on flat. From the top front 180 up the curb then halfcab flip into the downhill. Slammed pretty hard trying to roll into it switch. Then the wind kicked in hardcore. I nose mannied across the bottom and we were out. That spot is really fun.
