After work I met Rob, Paul, Sean at dog park.  Alton would show too as did Roth briefly.  The warm up took longer than normal as there was some good socializing to be had.  Sean was fully charging though getting through routine quickly.  I had made the slightest setup change – forged baseplate instead of cast.  But it did reduce the hefty feel a lot.  My first few kickflips felt great.  I had a decent session until the end.  Came close to kick back 50, kind of did a switch crooks, had some fun crooks, flip tricks felt okay although I didn’t commit to much.  At the end I couldn’t do a fakie front 50 on the bench to save my life and it bummed me out.  Paul ripped, played the hits with 5-0s, fakie 5-0s, etc.  Sean did a new line of back 5-0 front 180 out the bench followed by a quick fakie back nosegrind.  Also kickflip nose manual, several tricks over the upper deck, ollies over the hydrant, etc.  Rob had good back 50 back 180, halfcab boardslide and front board the bench, manuals, nose manuals.  Alton is fun to skate with, almost had some tall switch crooks and looked good in some 808s.
