Somehow the wind had held off. I wasn’t feeling like the skatepark again so went to Douglass, but a bunch of people I didn’t know were filming so ended up at Platt. Tried to do a “warm up” line of of pop shove a micro hip, manual, nose manual. Also mixed in a couple halfcab flips and a first try fakie bigflip. But never got the manual and was about to lose my mind so I went over to the 3 stair area. I wanted to ollie up it, but I was never even close. I committed once but fell in deck check. It was actually scary for me to ollie down it. I would eventually get a line of ollie the 3 stair then a b/s flip on flat. Then a varial flip on flat, front 180 down the 3, halfcab flip on flat. All 3 of these tricks were beyond terrible and I was really bummed on how scary the front 180 was. Oh well, at least I street skated.

Later on I went to Saul’s and Jesse and Bratcher joined. Saul had some of his amazing carve grind lines and a few stand up 50s. I took forever to get some axle stalls, but had a couple fun lines. Got the old carve around to axle stall to front rock. Some carve grinds in the deep, axle stall and a micro front slash on the brick section. Jesse laughed, got some good axle stalls in the deep, the bean plant to tail, grinds, nose stall to fakie. Jack had some good slashes and rock ‘n rolls. It was a really fun session. Hope to be back there soonish.
