Met up with Cass, Paul, Jake at Valmont park and cruised it for a while. We hit the pond area for a bit. Jake rattled off tricks that aren’t easy to do on that little transition like front tail, back blunt maybe even front disaster. Cass had one really long back 50. I did some axle stalls, kickflips to fakie and a front 50. The rest of the park I didn’t do much, especially after I got some serious ghost pop and couldn’t get up the euro comfortably. Cass struggled to get a kickflip over the hip. Jake had pole jam and I think pivot fakie on the volcano. Paul was shredding. Really nice back 180 over the euro hip.

Over to the plaza we met up with Jack and Eric. Those two are always charging. Cass and I played a game of SKATE that I ended up just quitting because we couldn’t land anything. I hit the wall on the 8.5/5.8. I mostly blame the Dunks though, they totally suck for skateboarding. No idea how so many people love them. The amount of pain I got from them was crazy, way more than a NB vulc. After the game I didn’t even have the desire to skate anymore, neither did Cass. I didn’t see a whole lot of other action. Eric did a rad wallie back 180 on the Natas spinner.
