After work on a hot day I met Sean and then JJ joined us. Sean and I warmed up a little then played a game of SKATE to get warmed up. Luckily it wasn’t one of those hour long games. I got a letter on front shove, heelflip although I landed on it, back heel, something else and lost on fakie heel. I had beat Sean to fakie flip, halfcab flip, first try fakie bigflip and got another bad backside flip. Then we skated everything. I had no pop. 50s on the cinder block ledge were scary for some reason, probably because they were moving around. The only things I did I was happy about were a couple questionable switch crooks (more like willy grinds but it’s a start!), almost switch front nose pretzel, ollied the orange barrier off the kicker once, really close to switch flips. Sean had a sick line of fakie 50 the tall metal bench then fakie back 5-0 f/s halfcab out and almost creepy out. And he was ollieing the hydrant so casually. JJ had some mean hurricanes on the flat bar, lipslides, slappies. I didn’t skate great, but I didn’t skate terrible so I guess that’s alright.
