On a really nice evening I went to Square State because Brian was there. But, his back hurt too much to skate ha ha. It was cool though Jason and Chris skated. Actually Christian was there too, but had to leave early on. Got to see him do a good front blunt. Jason and Chris were skating the 3 stair so I joined in that I only ollied it and then posed front shove and kickflip which I couldn’t make myself commit. Chris had such a good kickflip. Jason would do like 10 tricks which were all crazy. Nollie tre, nollie heel, nollie lazer, nollie inward heel, nollie varial heel, treflip, f/s flip, cab, kickflip 50 and kf 5-0. Geez, what a killer. Chris and Jason skated the qp in the back for a while. I made myself ollie up onto the stage a few times, tried to line out the bank to curb area. At the end Chris and I skated the little curb. He got close to back 180 fakie 5-0 180 out. I did the best nosegrind 180 out and it felt so cool. Then nollie tail 270 shove. I tried to get kf 50 on the curb while Jason did kf 5-0 on the hubba, but I never quite got it. Was remotely close though. Fun night.

Went to Square State in the evening hyped to see Brian and skate some. I had a new board which felt good with the mostly new kicks. Brian and I played on the china bank for a bit. I had some axle stalls and maybe a front slash onto the other bank, a kickflip on the bank. Brian did rock to feeble to fakie, front slash, blunt fakie which kind of ruined his back. After that Alex and Nick were playing SKATE in the middle and I tried a bunch of treflips near the china bank. Landed on a couple bad ones, but never got a clean one. At the end I posed some halfcab flip noseslides on the little ledge, but was not close.

Nice afternoon. Got to dog park an hour before sunset. A couple normal heads were there. I joined Ted and Jason for some attempts at pressure flip. Jason has them good. Ted and I had some that seemed close, but a lot that weren’t. Robbie was there shredding, so fun to watch. His back smiths are insane, so dipped. I don’t remember much after that, but then I started trying a line for a while. Nosegrind 180 the curb, sw noseslide, then kickflip 50 the lurb. Never got it, but was incredibly close. Dave joined us. We were doing whatever when a scooter kid came over and asked to jump over me. It was actually pretty funny as I had asked if he wanted me standing or bent over. After he jumped me Dave and I set up the kicker so we had a 1″ ollie to grind the wood box. And it’s funny because it took both of us several tries. Me more than Dave of course. My trucks were driving me nuts with the kingpin nut coming loose every few seconds. Dave did the cool long line then I bounced for dinner.
