I got letters on kickflip and fakie flip.  That pretty much sums up how I started.  I blame getting used to the new setup a little, but missing those is ridiculous.  Then we went and picked up Dave and started at this spot.  It was a hard warm up unless you are Jake.  He was ollie&#8217;ing up the the dock like it was nothing and lined out lots of tricks off.  Front 180, front 180 off the nose, nollie, f\/s halfcab, ollie over the bench and one heck of a stomped no comply 180.  Dave and I eventually ollied up it.  We did little grab plants off while putting our hands on the top of the bench.  I got a back 180 version as well.  I had some slams on some no pop back 180s and landed a no pop front shove off.  I could&#8217;t commit to the ollie over the bench.  <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/l5nGjkgpYS\/embed\/\" width=\"612\" height=\"710\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then we went around to the front where Simon and his friends Tyler and Aaron met us.  All nice dudes.  They all ripped the bank.  I avoided it.  After an incredibly embarrassing fall up the curb (not on purpose) I went and hid on the manny pad.  I tried a bunch of manual kickflips out (have never really tried for some reason) and got remotely close, but just felt dumb.  Jake and Dave got axle stalls on the bank.  It&#8217;s so gnarly.  Dave also did some fakie ollies.  Simon&#8217;s ollie to fakie is crazy.  Aaron did a boy varial that was crazy.  <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/l5uVJPgpV6\/embed\/\" width=\"612\" height=\"710\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then we went here and did a little landscaping to make this board slideable.  It was epic.  Simon was the first to get it.  He got it third try!  So sick.  He got a few more too, but they weren&#8217;t all easy.  He came remotely close to back 50 too.  Coming off the end denied Aaron for a long time before he got a few of them.  Coming off the end looked weird.  Most of my attempts were not close at all.  I would only slide a couple feet then bail out.  Jason and Lindy had met up with us to watch and I felt so dumb bailing in front of Jason.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/l6AMaTApTM\/embed\/\" width=\"612\" height=\"710\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I would eventually get it though!  (Dave&#8217;s video camera died mid make.  Doh!).  I can&#8217;t believe that when I finally got to the end I actually landed it.  Whew.  Felt amazing.  One of the hardest boardslides I&#8217;ve ever done.  Not scary, just difficult.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/l6AXMogpTb\/embed\/\" width=\"612\" height=\"710\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Jake got it a few tries after me too.  We were hyped!!!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/l5_yoIgpSj\/embed\/\" width=\"612\" height=\"710\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Poor Dave was the only goofy footer at the session.  He did manage to front 50 it with a couple scoots and a couple where he popped out early all sick.  He tried some lipslides at the end too that he could have probably eventually got.<\/p>\n<p>But we ended up at Dave&#8217;s house where Jake and I skated awhile.  Jake slayed as usual.  Back blunt, front blunt, a bunch more, but couldn&#8217;t put down the no handed nosepick he wanted to do.  I did alright for me.  Got a front d on the parking block side which I thought was new, but then I remembered I did it a few years ago when Brian said &#8220;If you disaster it this try I&#8217;ll learn nollie tres&#8221;.  Ha.  I was hella sore after all that skating.  Neil, you need to learn how to post photos\/screen grabs without reducing the quality!<\/p>\n<p>Since switching back to my orthotics I haven&#8217;t found the right insoles to skate with yet so am going to make a note of which ones I tried because I seem to forget and try them again.  I had tried Etnies ones.  They aren&#8217;t so good.  Bad board feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake and I played a game of SKATE in front of my house on a crisp spring morning. I got letters on kickflip and fakie flip.
