Snowy night. Went to Square State thinking I’d be unlocking it, but it was open with a bunch of youth hanging around. They would skate, but they kept to themselves mostly in the corner. I had done some warming up before the others showed. Man, the new layout is soooo congested. It’s fun, but it takes some getting used to. Not so much for the others, but for me it was. Will did 50s on all the ledge, nosegrind the tiny hubba, kickflips out of the kicker, lots of stuff. Jameson and I started with wallrides on the pryamid. His was all 4, mine was a sketchy wallie nollie. Jameson would do like 500 tricks. His bag is huge. Hardflip the kicker, treflip the 3, backside boneless, late back shove, nose pick, 50 the hubba to the long ledge, so much stuff. This dude Kyle was working and skated with us. He ripped the ledges. The halfcab noseslide was crazy. I did some whatever stuff. I didn’t think the euro to ledge would work for me, but noseslide was first try and I would get a lot of crooks. I did the kickflip better in a line earlier and did slappy crooks on the back to ledge after then almost front pivot to fakie on the little qp after. Justin shredded as one would expect and then some. Front tail to fakie the whole ledge was my fav. Front blunt, nosegrind, 5-0s to fakie then fakie grind up the kid qp, front tail the big qp to nose manual around the slippery deck. At the end I did a nosegrind or two on the curb. Justin and Jameson did a bunch of flip tricks. It was a fun session, there was a lot more. Jameson had played great music, it added to the fun.

What started as a decent night got windier and cold and eventually even started snowing. I got there first and had quite some time with just a couple beginner skaters. I did not skate well and kind of hoped the snow would come in so I could leave. I did get some front 50s and a back 50 I think on the blue lurb. Tried front 50 to fakie then fakie smith on the quartapotty which I hadn’t done in forever. But then I struggled doing any basics so I started hucking. I tried treflip noseslides out of the bump, kickflip noseslide on the black ledge, fakie hardflips on the mellow bank and kick back tails on the low side of the brown ledge. I didn’t land any. Fakie hard was the only one I was remotely close to. Will showed, quickly rattled off basics like he does so well. Justin and Jameson showed too. The Justin demo was real. Near the end I did the that fakie smith fakie line. My body had seriously seized up and I felt very arthritic. Then it started snowing like crazy all quick. Will did the 50 and we bounced.
