| FULL weekend packed with skating! Fun fun fun! |
|
Saturday: Randy's Ramp...aka. 7/11 Ramp |
| Met up with Andy Birdwell around noon and headed to the 7/11. Hooked up with Phil Hosey and Jon Griffin who
were there skating already when we rode up. Got in a fun little 1 1/2 session before heading to grab some lunch at the Taco Truck
before going to the bowl for the afternoon later session. |

Sunday: Back to the Bowl |
| Sunday was a toss up. Jay wanted to skate (been dealing with storm damage mess). Andy was out due to quad muscle injury. I was fine with either the
7/11 or the bowl. Jay voted for the bowl, and it was done. He came over, grabbed me, and we were down there. We joined Xavier (kid that moved here from
Nashville), "Kentucky" Chris Kinder, and Chris Upton. Much smaller sesssion than yesterday. More
laid back. However, some ripping was going down. Folks getting more comfortable in the bowl again. Tricks being done. Lines being found. |
