Nice morning after a night of rain (in February?!?!?) I met up with Cass, Gordon and Jake at Cushing skatepark. We had a decent session, but it was kind of crowded and hard to get into the flow of things. Jake brought back blunt to fakie on the little qp, almost back blunt on it. Had some good crooks, halfcab noseslide, front tail, nollie back tail. Cass started out by slamming a few times. Still had some nice moves though, ollies the hip, 50s the ledge both ways, crooks. Gordon nollie pop over the a-frame and fakie ollie too. Nollie up the euro. Fast front 50s, ollie the longer part of the stairs. My fav thing was a crooks and then kickflip onto the ramp. I really struggled with front 50s on the ledge. It felt so tall. It’s crazy, I really have lost pop.

Then we went to the alley ledge with the kink in it. It seemed fun, it was fun, but it was harder than we thought it would be. Gordon had some nice fast front 50s through the kink, front 180 out too. Jake noseslides, nollie back tail. Cass really long noseslides and front noseslides. Oh and he showed up Jake with a first try noseslide though the kink to shove. I had some mid noseslides, crooks, sw noseslide 270 shove, was happy to get slappy crooks. Hucked a lot of flatground, landed almost nothing.

After picking up boards from 303 and driving to Bluecar I went to the long ledge. Almost got hurt climbing a fence to get there. When I did my body was completely shot. I could barely ollie. I would get a couple lines I liked as far as landed some tricks, but they were very slow and was too tired to really skate that spot. Switch front nose then halfcab noseslide. Front noseslide then front 50. Still struggled to crooks it, almost had nollie back tail. What an amazing spot. One of these times I want to skate it with energy.
