On a nice day Sean and Kevin met at my house then we rolled to Southern Hills with Ollie. Ollie didn’t skate much, just some 180s and shoves on the handicap ramp then he was sitting and doing homework. Mike, Rob and Squeeks would also meet up. I was struggling hard. I got a pretty bad line of crook, nollie back 180, halfcab noseslide. Actually now that I remember the halfcab noseslide it was way more tech then that. It was a halfcab noseslide rever, revert, revert. Totally intentional. I was able to get up the stairs a couple times, a few kickflips and shoves into the handicap bank and one front axle stall before turning into filmer Glen. Rob had some front boards and front noses on the bench, a bunch of no complies up the 2 stair, one in a line with back 180 into the bank then halfcab noseslide a bench, no comply shoves off the kicker. Mike did a bunch of sick ledge tricks then nailed kick back tail. So good. It was rad seeing Squeeks. He ripped some ledge basics and tried to do back smiths on a street ledge for the first time. Kevin took awhile to get a switch nosegrind 180, but once he did he was somewhat consistent with it and ended up filming a nice line for Stubborns with a back 180 and fakie flip. Sean 50’d the ledge first try out of the gate like it was as easy as rolling off a curb. Man, must be nice. He went on to get a sick line with a heeflip, 50 and front tail.

Then we went to the school by my house where Sean ollied then kickflipped from the parking lot over the gap over the sidewalk into the street. Gnar.
