Senior snaps and a rare park sighting from the man behind our graphics @43shifty.
After work I met Rob at the Lafayette “skatepark”. I put skatepark in quotes because the park rarely gets used for skateboardings. It’s more of a hang out for rollerbladers, scooters, bikers, parkour enthusiasts, parents, people walking their dogs, etc. We battled through it though and had a pretty good session. We skated the middle section a lot. Rob had some good lines with the ollie you see above, a kickflip on the bank, front slash on the tiny coping and then a boardslide on the curb with tight tranny under it. I did some frontside ollies, wallies both ways on the rock hip, tricks on the tight qp by the entrance and a couple flip tricks on the bank. I had a few noseslides down the hubba that felt really weird. Rob cruised the snake run dodging scooter brawls. We skated the medium bowl for a bit. We ended with a game of SKATE where I couldn’t really land anything and I went down to Rob. The back 360 was a letter for sure, backside shifty one foot too. He good. Fun session surprisingly.
