If I remember correctly the crew at Frederick was Joe, Eric, Davi, Rob then Brian and Hayden. Rob, Joe and I tried front shoves to fakie on the mellow bank to begin. Joe got a bunch, but they weren’t clean. I slammed super hard on one and hurt my neck again. Rob did one perfectly then went on to kill the bank to curb. I couldn’t get a halfcab flip, Joe got fakie varial flip. More highlights in random order. Brian ollieing up and down the euro kickers and Rob getting his back up. Eric boardslid the long copy/paste flatbar. I ollied up the ledge with Joe’s board and then mine. Tried to do a train off the kicker with Joe doing front shove, me doing kickflip, Rob back 180 and Brian a cool powerslide disaster thingy. I would get a couple good feeling kickflips though and followed one with a crooks on the ledge. Davi learned how to do hippy jumps almost on accident after rolling down the double ledges. Rob had some sick boardslide transfers. Hayden so casually killed it. Back smith the bump to ledge, manual back 180 the pad, halfcab manual revert to fakie manual. Also good seeing Peyton shredding again doing his crazy tricks.

After some lunch we ended up at Lafayette. I was very sore so I hucked kickflip bank rides for a while. I was close to a couple, but ended up giving up. My head just wasn’t in the game. Also did a very slow noseslide down the hubba. We had lost Hayden and Rob, but gained Cass. Davi had gotten hurt dropping into the bowl at the end of the Fred session so he was out. Eric did his dream of rock to fakie on the tooth. So sick. Joe took the whole session to get front shove bank ride, but it was sick. He had also 50’d the hubba. Cass had some good front noses and bertlemanns. Brian went off with the line at the end which was so sick. I guess it’s a front hurricane? Fun times, fun crews.

Another entry well after the fact and a big premiere later. Cass and I went over to Valmont to get warmed up. Had a couple of kickflips when we went in on the top little bowl area that is super hard to skate. Some back 50s and ollies went down. I do wish there was more flat coping instead of the obnoxious slope. Still, it was fun to skate it differently. Back at the ledges we got a status report from Rob who said he had gotten shove lipslide. Sick! I had one decent feeling crooks and couldn’t fakie 50 the bench.  Had a couple fun slappy front crooks.  Cass was trying some fakie back 50s, doing good regular back 50s.

I’m writing this one week after the fact and a huge video premiere later so it’s not going to have much. I had taken a few notes. I had switched to venture 5.8s and hated every second of it. The dog park was heated. Rob and I went over to the skatepark. My only notes are that I did a kickflip on the mellow bank, the rainbow grind and couldn’t get a good grind on the pond qp. After Rob left I went back to the ledges and putzed around for a bit before having a fun little line of wallie the corner of the barrier then boardslide the other end of it.
