On a hot morning Joe, Neil, Rob and I met up with Cass then Brian and Kyle at the melted wax Cushing park. A lot of skating happened even if it seemed like nothing came easy for anyone. I’ll go for the short summary of each person I remember:
Robl: manuals on the deck, ollie up euro, boardslides
Neil: ollies, we both ollied the tiny “big” two stair.  Shove up the euro.  boardslides, ledge basics
Joe: pop shove fly out, axle stalls, b/s flip the hip.  Lots of ledge tricks on the puddled ledges.
Me: Front 50 the qp to ollie the tiny big 2.  Took forever to get a line of ollie the a-frame, noseslide the bump to ledge, kf to fakie the bank.  Then did a crooks on the bump to ledge which made me happy.
Brian: long boardslides, feeble to fakie the banked hubba, front boards
Kyle: treflip the hip so good, lots of tricks that were all amazing
Cass: Probably front shove up the euro because he’s been killing that trick and some crooks.

Then we went to the red curb/diy qp spot.
Rob shredded it.  front tails, slappies
Kyle kickflip the gap after solid front slappies
Cass: slappy back 50 shove
Brian : crail, blunt fakie, one footed front rock totally ripping
Hardflip Joe first try hardflip to fakie for $20
Jack nosepick shove and shove pivot
Jason Borne had some cool and weird lipslides on the side of things

Then we went to the warehouse and I think everyone skated at once. So it was really hard to follow. I saw Rob do halfcab boardslide shove out. Hardflip Joe was trying switch hardflip switch front crooks. Joe H was rattling off tricks on the little ledge. I tried desperately to get a line starting from the tall ledge. I think I got one like crooks, no comply 180, halfcab flip, front 50 but I’m not sure.  Brian front rocked the crazy qp. Jack had some rad wallies and transfer grinds. Garrett ripped the mini board. Jason board rattled off some cool tricks like halfcab crooks 180 out. Neil was going up and down everything. Cass was on the lower ledge. Dan did front blunt and perfect back nosegrind. Kyle with the line of the day. Treflip, crooks to fakie, switch treflip. So sick. At the end Joe and I raced on a couple tricks on the lower ledge. He beat me to back 50 but I would get it. I also got a really bad treflip. Fun day.
