After picking up some new boards from 303 Cass and I went to Broomfield park where we would meet Rob and eventually Sean. Cass and I started with a no warm up game of SKATE. It wasn’t our best, but I did pink slip him so I liked it. Ha ha. Rob showed up near the end of our game of SKATE. I got a first try line of noseslide to fakie, fakie flip, halfcab noseslide the blue ledge. Cass and I made ourselves do 10 halfcab noseslides. It started as a goal of doing 10 in a row, but we quickly realized that wasn’t going to happen. Rob probably could have though since he was 3/3. Sean showed up and rattled off some of his basics which would be enders for the rest of us. Will came much later when we had all started to sit down. I saw him do some nice ledge tricks. So yeah, not much of a session and I don’t really know why. It was so nice out. Oh well.

Went over behind the school feeling like doing a few flippers. I had put 5.6 v-hollow on and wore my Tiago shoes. Those shoes are so sturdy it’s crazy, but not great feel. Anyway I only did a few kickflips, fakie flip, halfcab flip and backside flip. Posed a few others, but not really.

On a windy day before the holiday I got out of work early and headed over to Valmont. Dog park was still pretty wet and Jack B was skating it but we quickly moved over to Valmont. Will would join shortly. The wind was intense at first, but the clouds came in and the wind went away. Before he left he had some patented steezy barrier carves, drop down manuals off the bank, maybe a crail on the bank or two. Jack B worked on bigspins on the bank, one foot out of the shark fin. Will had such a good back 180 over the euro. We tried noseslide transfers for a while, both making it look doable without feeling close at all. I had some pop issues up the euro, took a long time to get a halfcab flip on the bank, had a fun line up top in the bowl area. Will had a cool wallie. Evergreen “Billy” showed up again and ran into a kid on an electric motorbike before getting stoked on my hoodie and buying a dvd. That was cool. Decent little session.
