Pretty sore from yesterday, met up with Jack and Gordon and an extremely nice day. Seriously though this has to be the warmest winter ever. I was sore and started slow, but had some fun. Gordon hadn’t skated in a bit, but did some good manuals, grinds, nollies, etc. Bratcher was back on the slappy tip doing the reverts right away. We didn’t stick around too long. I ended up skating okay, only thing abnormal was a first try front shove off the c lurb.

Then we went to Mikes Camera ledge. Jack had good sw noeslides, ride on 50s, slappy crooks. Gordon amazing noseslides, good 50s. I filmed him do a line that ended with ollie the bush gap. I got pretty frustrated at front 50s, but got a line that made me feel good. Front 50 the low part, kickflip out of the tiny kicker, front 180 the bush gap. Also some crooks.

Off to Casey where we marveled at Jack’s ender in Nothing before skating the lower part. Gordon had to leave quick did some nollies off the kicker and front 50 gap outs. Jack killed the ollie then 180 combo and switch 180s. The kicker is so hard because it gives away before the end. I wanted to do double kickflips, but instead I only got kickflip then 180. The harder slam hurt. Tried to end it with crooks then kickflip up, but also had to settle for 180 up.

Another fun day of skating in the 60 something degree Feb weather.
