Went to campus after work to meet Will. He was running late so I flailed around at the elementary school waiting. I had put Thunders on and they felt terrible for a while. But Will arrived and we went to campus and things got better. We started at Baker ledge. Will super casually manualed the pad a few times out of the gate showing me and a college skater how to do it. Ha. I would eventually get a couple manuals, almost one into the ride on grind. I had some good feeling crooks and switch front noses. One very slow front 50. Kind of close to switch 180 manual. Will with a great line of front tail to fakie then switch manual. We were at Baker quite a while. Then we went to the mini bump to hill. Will first try kickflip and switch pop shove into it before getting called for work. I had pop shove, sloppy fakie bigflip and b/s flip. Then we bounced. Fun session, but man I was soooo sore after.
