Had to run boards to Skate Ratz. There wasn’t many takers on the trip, but Kevin was down. I showed him the HS spot and then we went to the skatepark to get warmed up. When we arrived there was several toddlers learning how to bike, even a kid on a tricycle. But the parents were cool for once and pulled their kids out of there. I was wearing the 288s again and wow they felt weird out of the gates. I hit a stop rock right away too and had a good slam managing to avoid diving into a ledge. Kevin was ripping out of the gates. He is so good. First try back 50 the tall bench. I was really sucking it up, it was embarrassing. I also slammed on a stop rock after ollieing the lowest flat bar and before the next flat bar. When I finally got the 2nd flat bar my board cracked something fierce. From then on I had a noodle for a deck. That didn’t stop me from sucking though. The only other tricks I got were an ollie barely over the corner of the ledge and b\/s flip over the hip. Kevin got a b\/s flip over the hip too, but his didn’t have any tic tacs. He had one amazing attempt to ollie up the 3 stair to manual. He was horizontal in the air for that one. So funny. I’m forgetting a lot, we left when he did a little switch front 50 on the flat bar in the photo above.<\/p>\n
