After a long day of wishing I wasn’t at work and pancakes for dinner John and Carleigh came over and we headed to Brighton on a cloudy, but nice evening. \u00a0We got there around 8:30 and there were less than 10 people skating. \u00a0Cool. \u00a0John and I cruised around for a bit then skated the mellower bowl while Carleigh skated the bump to bar. \u00a0John had a mesh hat on backwards and skated like it. \u00a0Lots of slasher grinds and front rocks while keeping his speed and flowing good. \u00a0I was trying some back 50s around a corner and never got it mostly due to the coping being deathly fast instead of me just being a pansy. \u00a0Actually not joking for once.After a bit John and I headed over to the street area with Carleigh. \u00a0She was almost landing front 180 nosegrinds on the bump to bar. \u00a0Ridiculous. \u00a0John was ripping everything too. \u00a0Ollies everywhere. \u00a0I was skating ok, just kinda dorking. \u00a0Took me a few tries to get the boardslide on the ledge yank up into the downhill ledge thing. \u00a0After that John and I tried doing f\/s board transfers. \u00a0I eventually got one after kickflipping up the ledge to setup. \u00a0That little line stoked me out enough to keep a smile going regardless of how bad I skated the rest of the night. \u00a0The three of us had a kickflip race up the euro that John won. \u00a0Caleigh landed it which is pretty good for a girl. \u00a0Ha, that’s what the dude said that was posing kickflips and not even getting close. \u00a0Carleigh went on to also land a perfect heelflip up and a front shove. \u00a0Sick. \u00a0I failed at b\/s flips as well as manualling the tall pier 7 replica. \u00a0I tried ollieing into all 3 of the banks on the downhill section and did the scariest tail scrape ollie into the third one. \u00a0I thought I was gonna die.After the lights shut off we played SKATE in the parking lot. \u00a0John won the first game. \u00a0I could not land a 3 flip at all. \u00a0Argh. \u00a0In the second game John hit a rock and bailed and came up so angry he almost focused his brand new board. \u00a0Doh! \u00a0I think the second game just fizzled out and we left to get some gummi bears and sugar tea and drive home. \u00a0Yum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
