After hitting botanical gardens with the family we were driving right by this park so I had them drop me off. It was very nice out and the park was popping. I have never skated it with more than a few people total. Was hyped to skate the new stuff. As I took an initial roll around to check things out I heard my name called and it turned out the legend Drew was there. So hyped! He was shredding the ledges a new one. Nollie crooks, fakie nosegrind 180s, slappy the tall ledge both regs and switch, total ripper. I skated better than I thought I would considering I didn’t do my normal warm up at all. Had my normal noseslide and crooks on the ledges. Spent some time on kickflip noseslide the bank to ledge and was remotely close. That would have been a dream come true. Took a while to get a slappy on the new bank to curb, but man it felt good once I did it. Missed several kickflips on the bigger hip bank which was the only negative of the session. Was great to get out and enjoy the sun and catch up with Drew.
