Hyland is the spot when I just want straight-up hot laps, and this day was exactly that—fast park runs, trying to keep it clean, and a whole lot of mic’d-up chaos. I’m out there breaking in my new setup and just riding it like I actually ride: quick hits, sketchy saves, and pushing speed through the features. If you’ve ever wondered what a Midwest park session feels like when you’re trying to squeeze in as many laps as possible, this is it. I’m running my Burton Good Company 159W and basically treating the whole place like a playground—seeing how the board handles when I’m rushing back to the lift, lining up jumps, and reacting last-second when things get weird. You’ll get that real POV feel: the sounds, the breath, the chatter, and the moments where you’re one tiny mistake away from eating it. Takeaway: hot laps are the best way to get comfortable on a new board fast—just ride a ton, stay loose, and commit when it’s time to send.
