Feeling tired and sore Dave was pushing for the bank to ledge and timing wise it worked for me so we did it. We met Cass at Dayton, it was cool out, but would warm up quickly. There was one other dude there nollieing into everything. There was a brief warm up before we played a game of SKATE that ended up taking forever. And not because we landed a lot of tricks. Cass was first out, Dave would win it, I couldn’t get a fakie bigflip or heelflip. Skating the park Dave had some cool front 5-0s on the qp to down on the ledge. Cass had some good back 180 grinds. I stuck on some noseslides (strike 1 against Thunder), enjoyed halfcab noseslides, kind of ollied onto the ledge and took a while to get a front 50 on it at the end.

Off to the bank to ledge I was feeling sore. Stefan would meet us then eventually Garrett and Joe. I struggled. Really struggled. Like even noseslides to fakie I couldn’t get into. The only thing I was happy with was the nose jib to fakie then halfcab flip. Oh I did a fakie bigspin on the bank too which was really fun and some boardslide flop outs that looked nothing as good as Dave’s. Cass added front nose to fakie, front 50s. I forgot how much Dave rips bank to ledges. Front 50s in a few minutes, back pivot, nose pick, axle stall lunchbreak tail stall, seems like much more. Stefan battled switch front tail and then nollie 180 crooks. He would get both. Garrett came and quickly did crooks, crooks fakie, crooks bigspin, shove noseslides, shove noseslide 180, kick back tail, kick back tail fakie, but couldn’t get the flip out. Joe couldn’t get tail or front 50 so instead did a first try front crooks to fakie. So amazing. He tried some Joe tricks, but came up short.
