Trying to get out early on Saturday I met Dave at the Dog Park. Dave L, Kevin, Sean, Mike would eventually meet up too. Dave and I had some time to warm up which was nice. It took a bit, but things started coming. The new benches are cool. It’s so hard to remember who did what at Dog Park sessions because they all blur together. Dave had some amazing lipslide 270s on the metal beam, front board the plastic barrier, nose manual, solid 50s, an over 50 front nosegrind, front board through the kink rail, several varial flips. I was hyped to boardslide down the plastic barrier, had some good feeling crooks on the top of the step ledge, got a fakie nosegrind on a new bench, cant remember much more. Dave L had some solid manuals as always, casual ollie over a new bench, nose manual the wood box. Kevin was linking lines on the new benches so quickly it was disturbing. Ha. Basically every trick done with speed. The kick 5-0 took a few tries as he kept manualling instead of grinding. We all played a game of SKATE. Kevin won. Dave L had a sick 360 flip that got letters on everyone. I got out on heelflip which was kind of a bummer. Sean showed, killed it. He did front board up the plastic barrier as well as a million solid tricks. Mike showed right as we left to watch the Tony Hawk part. It didn’t disappoint.
