After work went and met Rob at dog park with a little over an hour of light left. It wasn’t crowded. The metal grates were propped up for a mini kicker which added a fun new obstacle. Rob went in on some poppy ollies and back 180s quickly. My neck was still really hurting from the rain slam a couple days ago and made popping hard. I also started to completely hate my setup and couldn’t flip easily or ollie onto anything. I had some ghost pops up onto the ledge to setup for nollie back tails which I never got a clean one. At the end I took way too long to do a front shove off the side of the kicker, but not so long to get a satisfying kickflip off it. Rob had done a really good fakie 50 halfcab out, manual to manual to boardslide. Also a bunch of really long lines with all kinds of tricks like boardslide pop out, back 180 50, halfcab noseslides, etc. Decently fun night before diving back into editing.
