On a very nice afternoon I met up with Skelly, Will and Ted at dog park. Dave would show a little later. Will and Ted were already getting it on Eric’s box. Will was killing it with nollie noseslides, nosegrind 180s, switch crooks. Ted’s front cooks were crazy good. I had some crooks, tried a lot of varial heels (inspired by Tiago!) that were not close, tried a bunch of noseslide 270 shoves that I could not get. I would stick and the bails were killing my foot. Dave had some nice boardslides to fakie and 270 out, front 50s and back 50s! One line of switch 180 5-0 the masonite pad, back 50 the bench, varial flip on flat was so good. Skelly had some boardslides, 50s the curb. I did some rare crooks to fakie and tried crooks shove but couldn’t get one. Hucked some kickflip boardslides with Dave, but never committed.

Then we went over to the valmont park. Dave would slay it like normal. Wallie over the barrier, kickflip into the bank, back tail 360 out over the hip, euro to manny the mellow bank, so many things I can’t even keep track. Skelly got close to front shoves and kickflips, had some good one foots. I was kind of all over the place, had some okay things but never really stuck to anything in particular.

After work on a cool day met Will at Valmont toddler park. Will had forgot his normal skate shoes so was bumming on wearing his “work” shoes but he still skated. I had a kickflip to fakie on the mellow bank, hucked some nollie cabs over a hip, hucked big heels on the mellow bank. Then we skated the pool for a while. I’ve wanted to axle stall it for a long time. It was a bit of a battle, but I was happy to do it and carving around into it was fun too. Will took way less tries to get the rock fakie.

Over at dog park my foot had really started hurting. Eric was there. He had some good crooks, front tails, front and back 50s on the lurb, think he had some heelflips. I really struggled with pop. Had a line of slow front 50 180 on the lurb then halfcab noseslide Eric’s box.
