Was having a good morning getting ready for skating when I got called for work. It wasn’t a bad call, but it took a few hours and it kinda killed my skate motivation. And it showed when I arrived at the dog park. Kevin, Dan, Sean, Mike were all trying varial flips. But my body wasn’t up to try them quite yet. I cruised around trying to get warmed up, but it never really happened. Those dudes were all ripping. I was hyped to see Dan skating. Sean and Kevin were doing some lightwork over the barriers. Sean had nollie back 5-0, ollie, backside flip the wallie, turn around ollie the hydrant then front 50 the picnic table. Dang that’s lots of hopping! Kevin did switch nosegrind 180, ollie, nollie shove. I did slow front 50 and posed backside flip. Near the end I got a slow front 50 shove. That’s about the only trick I was remotely hyped on. Kevin and I had tried a bunch of halfcab crooks. Neither of us got it, he was of course way closer. Man I was in some serious pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I went to look at a Casey to see the spot Eric had shown me. It looked so good from the road I got out of the car. It’s a little kicker to a pad then a little two stair-ish gap after. The kicker was deceiving though as it drops away at the last bit making the timing weird. I got a switch 180 then front 180 the gap. I wanted to do kickflip then front shove, but I never got the kickflip. The weird kicker got to me and I went home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
