skate journal: saulside on a nice night (sept 4, 2018)

Feeling like a Monday I went to Saul’s after dinner. Saul, Tyler and Ian were there. Ian went in on back lips over the hip and got a few as well as some other crazy tricks first try. Saul was shredding like he does. Tons of grinds in every run, more standing up on back 50s, less carve grinds. Some frontside carves, layback front rocks on the parking block qp. Tyler goes for it. He had some sketchy makes, some sketchy falls and totally shredded. I was kind of all over the place. I was struggling at first since I was on my Saul setup, but had a few okay runs getting some of my normal runs. I tried to do a few front disaster to sugarcane. Got kind of close. I haven’t done that in awhile. Eric showed up and circled the bowl a few times before diving into it. Ha ha. He tried to cali grind into it and it didn’t go so well. He would get it though (see photo). He was grinding longer and faster than I’ve seen in the past. We ended trying some front rocks on the qp. Fun mellow night.
