I worked from home because I had to be on a 7am call. I ended up basically being on the phone for 9 hours straight. I was pretty tired and wanting to skate something other then Valmont, but Dave insisted and didn’t have time to drive elsewhere. Starting out was rough. Really rough for me. I’m not sure why, but I could barely get up the curbs and it took me like 30 minutes before I landed a manual. I added to the fun by taking out the metal grate from the long manny pad to make for some gap\/combo options. Dave got manuals and nose manuals way quicker then me, but was struggling with other things. He hucked a lot of 180s out of manuals and stuff which could make for some new manuals soon. He started trying nollie front shove manuals and got one. So rad. I was trying fakie bigspin manuals which I had never done. I had a brief blast of awesome as I landed a nollie big flip then the fakie bigspin manual. I was hyped. Coming the other way I was trying manual to ollie over the huge 1 foot gap (ha) then 360 flip off the curb. I had done a few b\/s flips off that felt rad. Dave started trying fakie bigspin manuals and he too came through with it. That’s two new manual tricks for him in one day and one for me. We were hyped. Dave was doing lots of kickflips. I was hucking a lot of flippers and getting close to fakie 3 flips. Dave had to leave and as he was pulling out I finally got the manual to ollie over the gap then a 6 point landing 360 flip off the curb (4 wheels, 2 hands). We counted it. Then it was off to Crisis to see Sabotage 4! It’s a good one. <\/p>\n
