After work I rolled out as it was getting dark and met Skelly at Valmont park. We pumped around. I started to hate the 8.5 when I couldn’t even noseslide the pyramid ledge. We went over to greenblock. My achilles was not feeling well. Due to puddles I skated the curved ledge for the first time. Had some nollie front tails that were ridiculously fun. Other than that I had a few fakie 50s on the curb where I almost got switch front shove out. Skelly and his crew Dylan and Stephan mostly skated the barrier. Dylan had lots of moves like boneless disaster, lipslide over the love seat, 5-0s, smiths. Skelly got some rad lines combining back 50s and frontside grinds. I added a weak little front slash or two. Never again skating > 8.3.
