On a really nice morning I met up with Rob, Kevin, Mike, Eric, Dave F and eventually Sean at dog park.\u00a0 I was on my 3rd setup change of 2021 already.\u00a0 Well, just a truck swap out, but that’s pretty huge.\u00a0 I want flips to be easier so I’m going with some Thunder 148s.\u00a0 \u00a0And boy did they flip good at first for me.\u00a0 \u00a0After some rolling around to warm up I would have several first try flippers.\u00a0 Kickflip, heelflip, halfcab\u00a0flip, b\/s flip and some others that came in a few tries.\u00a0 Front 50s felt good on low stuff, but I struggled with the taller ledge for a reason I don’t know.\u00a0 Crooks felt extra good.\u00a0 I had a fun\u00a0line of front 180 the parking block, halfcab flip on flat, front 50 back 180 the little guy.\u00a0 Everyone seemed to be skating well.\u00a0 I saw Rob get some halfcab\u00a0noseslides on the taller ledges.\u00a0 He also had two really bad slams in a row.\u00a0 One on a back 50 body varial out that was looking so good until the last second when he hung and slammed so hard.\u00a0 I haven’t seen him bounce off the ground like that in a long time.\u00a0 Then on the next attempt he hit a stop rock and went down hard again.\u00a0 Argh!\u00a0 He kept skating though, front 50s, first try kickflip, much more.\u00a0 Dave was in demo mode.\u00a0 Everytime I’d see him he was landing something crazy.\u00a0 Front crooks to fakie, switch crooks to forward, front 50 back 180 transfer the beam, halfcab back 50 back 180 out, halfcab\u00a0boardslide\u00a0several parking blocks to fakie and much more I’m forgetting right now.\u00a0 Kevin and Mike were ripping the ledges.\u00a0 Nosegrinds, nollie nosegrinds, back tails, back smiths.\u00a0 Kevin did back smith the tall bench then back 180 nosegrind the cinder block I think.\u00a0 Wowsers.\u00a0 Kevin and Mike did back to back back smiths on the tall bench at one point and I got their back with a tiny crook jib.\u00a0 I couldn’t get a fakie nosegrind to save my life.\u00a0 I’m not sure why.\u00a0 I tried some switch front crooks and failed, was close to rick flips and nollie varial flips.\u00a0 My last trick was a front 50 kickflip out on the little guy.\u00a0 It was fun as I haven’t done that trick in forever.\u00a0 Dave got my back, but I forget what the trick was.\u00a0 I think switch crook.\u00a0 Eric had been ripping.\u00a0 Got a few back 180 heels, 5-0s, tails, lipslides, ollies over stuff easily, back 50s on taller ledges now.\u00a0 Sean ollied over one of the angled crossbeams all crazy and of course had nosegrinds, 5-0s like they were nothing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
