Fresh off the plane (and a bus and two trains and a car ride) we assembled an amazing crew. I was meeting up with the 98% crew, most of which had been there a couple days already. Donnie and me arrived today. These curbs are the easiest slappy curbs ever. Like I literally did my first slappy with my water bottle in my hand having not done any of my warm up exercises. We would skate here a long time. It’s been over a week so my memory isn’t going to be so good, but here we go.

Joe: Learned slappies then proceeded them to do them in a line with mega pop heelflip and hardflip.

Collin: slappy front 50 shove out, long slappies, kf manual, ripping.

Jack: Those long sugarcanes are so amazing. All kinds of cool seeing Jack skate again. The wallie off the curb to back 50 was so easy for him. Almost did pressure flip body varial to manual.

Dan: Also learned some slappies and had casual manual combos.

Wade: Regular slappy to f/s over the drain was so sick. Also had manuals.

Scott: front t first try. Ollies up the curb, had a pretty great slam apparently.

Me: Slappies were so fun. Took forever to slappy crook the drain that Donnie crooked first try. Hucked some flippers but didn’t land much. Had some fun switch f/s slappies. Tried kickflip manual and was somewhat close, but only got one kickflip up.

Donnie: Always a treat to watch him skate. Lots of variety, atv, fast slappies, wallrides, manuals.

Really fun kickoff to the trip for me. Didn’t get too sore.
