Went to Erie park after a run to boulder 303. I arrived to the park 30 minutes later than I wanted to, but I guess it worked out as Kevin said a bunch of scooter kids had just left. There were some youth with energy and pop ripping the park. I don’t really like this park much when it’s even slightly crowded. I kind of locked up and didn’t do anything. I tried to warm up with the dork kickflip off the little wedge to mellow bank. Kevin was shredding. Crooks, back 50s, front nosegrinds, halfcab into the euro. Dude kills it. There was another somewhat older dude there that was nice and fun to skate with. He had some moves like front 50 on the bank to ledge. Kevin had a good slam on a front 5-0 attempt down the little rail/hubba thing. I couldn’t even kickflip to fakie on the bank. The maze grip on my old warped 8″ board was driving me nuts, the print makes it so slippery. I didn’t do much other than a couple longer than normal noseslides. Kevin had a real bad slam on a back tail on the qp where he stepped on his leg. We thought he was done, but we ended up playing a game of SKATE that was the only part of the night I had some fun. The slippery grip got me a few times, but we still got through a lot of tricks. Of course I got letters on nollie/switch flip. I got him with halfcab flip. I got close but couldn’t land nollie varial flip and f/s halfcab heel. Kevin eventually won it, I forget the trick. Then we split.
