Almost 60 on a Saturday! \u00a0Awesome. \u00a0Brian and Neil arrived at my house first. \u00a0Then Nate, Jason, Bernie, Jake. \u00a0We picked up Jack and Fuzz on the way and met at a brick bank spot that was a fun warm up spot and fun spot in general. \u00a0Jeff met us there too. \u00a0My car arrived first though so Neil, Jack, Bernie, Nate and I had the spot to ourselves for about 20 minutes. \u00a0Neil was ollieing a bunch, Nate was doing front board slides, Bernie did some manuals (ha ha), Jack had some cool hurricanes and stuff. \u00a0I started off pretty crappy. \u00a0I was having troubles ollieing into the bank from this crack. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0 I got a couple 5-0s to fakie with my standard lame late revert. \u00a0Things felt better for me when I landed a front board 180 in out of nowhere. \u00a0The other car of TFers showed up slightly before Jeff. \u00a0Fuzz killed some huge ollies and grabs and a bigflip. \u00a0Brian grinded the most bricks. \u00a0Jake can’t do 5-0s to fakie unless the spot is gnarlier. \u00a0Jason was ripping. \u00a0Jeff skated some of the best I’ve seen him skate though. \u00a0He was ripping so hard just circling around the bank doing various flippers and grinds like they were nothing. \u00a0Toward the end of the session Brian and I were racing to a kickflip on the bank. \u00a0After Jeff called out $1 to who gets it first Brian had the option to go first, but decided to talk himself up instead. \u00a0So I went and did the kickflip poorly. \u00a0Fun spot.Next we skated a crack ridden ledge spot with a 3 stair. \u00a0Jake and I bet a beer over ollies up the 3 stair and I miraculously did it first try. \u00a0We double or nothing’d for front 180s up and tied. \u00a0Cool. \u00a0Everyone was kinda looking around at the spot first and it seemed like people weren’t into it. \u00a0But we stuck around, waxed some spots of the ledge and the session ended up being fun. \u00a0Jack was doing some rad ollies out to a ledge and Fuzz was on it too. Brian was on the phone. \u00a0Nate tried a bunch of boardslide popouts to fakie. \u00a0Jason did some fast noseslides and some back 50s on the normal ledge and got close to boardslide 270 out on the up ledge. \u00a0Jack cracked his board trying to switch heel the 3, then hurt his ankle trying to switch var heel it. Neil had hurt his ankle at the first spot so was chilling. \u00a0Fuzz back 50’d the whole up ledge. \u00a0Bernie tried a line of front 5-0 the normal ledge, front tail bigspin out on the up ledge. \u00a0He got close. \u00a0His front 5-0s were so good. \u00a0Jeff almost crooks up the whole ledge. \u00a0I was sucking. \u00a0I got a bad noseslide followed by a 2mph no comply 270 back tail and tried some kick back 50s. \u00a0Never got too close. \u00a0We left for another spot and on the way to the car I landed one of the better treflips I’ve ever landed. \u00a0Rad.Next spot was a 3 up 3 down. \u00a0We were all pretty sore by then so the warming up was tough. \u00a0Took me a few tries to ollie up the 3, but when I did I got a front 180 down first try. \u00a0Yippee. \u00a0I also worked up to ollie up kickflip down and got it. \u00a0The kickflip was super slow and my hands went down, but that’s the first set of stairs I’ve kickflipped in forever. \u00a0The last time I think I kickflipped a 3 <\/a>was back when Monico got on Null. \u00a0It was fun though, I’d like to do get back to where it doesn’t take me 20 tries to commit to it and I can actually go fast off the stairs. \u00a0Fuzz was ripping. \u00a0Manual. \u00a0Front 180 up, fakie flip, fakie ollie down. \u00a0Jeff came close to ollie up, 3 flip, back 3 down. \u00a0So ridiculous. \u00a0He was ollieng up the 3 so easily. \u00a0Bernie \u00a0nose mannied it and came close to manual 360 flip out. \u00a0Jason got ollie up back 180 down. \u00a0Jake got ollie up and front 180 down. \u00a0Right before leaving I did a few flippers on a sidewalk and ollied a little ledge. \u00a0Gotta practice them ollies kids!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
