On a cool night in the upper 30s I lacked motivation to drive anywhere so I went to the school. I went to the back which has some okay lights. Warm ups weren’t terrible, did a switch shove and a few kickflips. An hour later I had only landed 6 flip tricks. Kickflip, fakie flip, backside flip, heelflip, varial flip, halfcab flip. I came remotely close to treflip, switch flip. Hucked quite a few others. It’s really hard to skate back there, the ground is rough, it’s not lit well, big cracks between each section, but it felt good to skate.

After meeting Nate’s son and pawning him off on Liz to babysit we went to dog park on a cool evening. We were later than anticipated and Rob had already been skating a while. I tried to get warmed up while they chatted. I did not feel too good on my skateboard nor would I at any point. I did get a front smith on the lower ledge though which stoked me out, it even grinded. Also did several “nollie” front 50 180s which is a rare one. Flip tricks were really hard and felt impossible. Rob still killed it for a while cruising and styling his staples. Nate back 50’d the narrow metal bench real quick then slammed on a little boardslide. That’s the Nate I know and love ha ha. He went on to skate really well even though he was on my 8.1/Thunder setup. Nosegrinds, smiths, 5-0s, manuals, nose manual 180s and nollie flips! It was a fun session. Near the end no one else was really skating so we filmed a few clips to document the bro fest. Great skating with you Nate!
