Went to dog park around 9:30. Rob and I were there first. Bernie, Dave L and Eric would show up shortly after. Along with a bunch of people, it got kind of crowded. Anyway, starting out was okay. We had to avoid the back area because they were doing some electric work (adding lights!!!!). But it messed with the flow of things for me. I don’t really remember a whole lot. Rob is getting his groove back. Eric had a lot of good heelflips and some questionable backside heels at the end. Dave L had some casual kickflips over a parking block and relearned inward heelflips at the end of the session. Bernie manualled the top of the two level ledge, almost got fakie 5-0 shove. I didn’t do a whole lot, but did get remotely close to a dream trick. Crooks shove (the hard way).

After a nap and chilling I went to Willville solo. It was nice and cool out with some little sprinkles that never amounted to anything. I tried to start on the new little waxed ledge, but it didn’t grind. Ended up trying kind of a ridiculous line. Nose manual into the bank, turn around, treflip, ollie onto the ledge then front shove to fakie on the bank. I never got the treflip. And I only got a few feet up the bank when I tried. How Sean and Jack can go that fast up it is beyond me. Then I did a few back 50s, tried switch crook for awhile and failed. Tried f/s cab heelflips for awhile and they felt close even though they didn’t look it. I had made a list of about 6 tricks. I had to do one before I could head home. I couldn’t get a nollie varial flip, but the first try rick flip was the golden ticket home.
