After a busy Friday at work I met Rob on a hot afternoon. My first day skating in shorts this year. I had also wore some cupsole 288s again and completely hated them. Seriously at no point was I happy with anything about skateboarding and I came close to focusing my board multiple times. I saw Rob get a nice nose manual around the C pad, some back 50s, halfcab board the metal bench. Ripping. I would get some fakie flips and halfcab flips, almost a front shove off the c ledge, almost fakie 50 halfcab out the small pad. JJ would show up, rip it. Rob left and I attempted to keep skating, but ended up just chatting with JJ and it was cool.

(pain level 4/10 knee pain wasn’t as bad but I hated the lack of board feel)
