The relief of finishing the work week was great. Was heading to dog park after work, but then randomly remembered this spot and went there instead. I had brought my 8.3 with thunders instead and like anytime skating thunders the first time, I liked them. It was pretty cool out. Didn’t try many flippers, but I did pop more than expected. After some jibbing I did ollie more than expected. Didn’t really land much. Did get one line of ollie up, briefest noseslide a bench up top, ollie down the 2. It was not easy or graceful. Did the fun front nose stall to pivot. Tried to front tail tall to something on the lower curb, but couldn’t get the tail stall. Had some little grinds on the step. I wish I had brought wax because I still want to grind it to something on the ledge. Did some stalls on the ledge. All in all, pretty fun for a quick session after a long exhausting work week.

I hadn’t put a new board together after the bad treflip night before so I grabbed an 8.5 with slappy lights. Ugh. Showed up at Square State after a long day of work not feeling very motivated. There were a few dudes there, not a lot. It was cool. I started in the corner just kind of feeling things out. Then to the main area did some normal axle stalls, wallies and noseslides. Then managed to do the “gap” to noseslide. It was actually pretty fun. Ted had done it frontside with a 270 out. Skated the ramp for a while. Will had some great frontside ollies. This dude Brian was in there with a really cool surfy style and was fun to skate with. I did a few basics, had fun. Then Ted, Will and I went in on pivots to fakie on the little qp. Will did pivot to rock fakie. I did my cheater pivot fakie. But I did also get a great feeling fakie pivot fakie. That was about it. Oh, Jason was there killing it. Nollie tres down the 3 stair, kickflip the hubba, etc. Nick killed the stairs too. Damien tore up everything.
