Running later than anticipated I met up with Rob, Sean and Kevin at dog park on a bright and sunny Sunday. I was sore from so much skating the day before and would not skate as well, but still had a couple highlights for me. Kickflip to fakie a wedge followed by fakie bigflip. Also a line of front smith stall the little ledge, crooks a bench, nollie back tail the manny pad ledge. Not much else for me, I ended trying the nollie front tail 270 shove for awhile and would get a few before getting a clean one. It hyped me up. Rob was shredding. Back 50s, nollie lip transfer the green block, boardslide transfers, manuals, much more. Kevin was trying a board with a smaller wheelbase and ended up hating it. He tried to skate through it and still did some amazing stuff, but ended up sitting after awhile. He still did nollie front nosegrind, back 180 nosegrind, back tails, nollie flips, all kinds of tricks I’m jealous of. Sean is just getting back on his feet after a rolled ankle, but man he was looking good. Lines of nollie back nosgrind, front nosegrind the upper deck, front tail the tall bench, front tail the C ledge. Nollie back nosgrind back 180, halfcab nose manual 180. Some good flippers too. I did a kickflip on his board and it felt so good. Maybe I’ll try that same setup next time ..
