Did it.
O.K.. I am now legit. I landed one arm handplants at least 6 times tonight. I have one of them on film, and I'll get that posted up here tomorrow (Tuesday).

Also, I not only was able to grind across that over vert cradle, but I was able to go all the way down the pool coping to the deck coping, where I ground that as well for another 3 or 4 feet. All in all, it was about a 15 foot mizou grind.

And to finish this all off, the BDS skateboarder that I skate with says that I went the more upside down in the capsule than ever before!! A good night of skating, and no injuries. :)

 Tonight, in Round Rock, I landed the one arm hand plant in the 10 foot bowl.......twice. I landed it once in the 6 foot bowl. Of course, there were also quite a few fumbles, but I'm still stoked that I'm starting to get them down.

 Wow, Biff, I'm so stoked! Wish I could do this myself. But there is a definitive lack of such spots hereabouts. At least I've had a small roll on our big ramp on Saturday and also took a few skateboarder pics.

 Thanks, Bernhard! I am pretty stoked as well. I keep learning, and that is a good motivator.

I also hope that you get more opportunities to skate good locations really soon! You deserve it.

Thanks, I've been working on that park for some time now, and it is becoming a part of me.

It wasn't an Alley oop, but that is a cool idea. That video was the last run of the night for me and I was pretty tired. I want to do it again when I'm more full of energy.
