skate journal: mellow rough curb session (feb 5, 2016 day 36)
Feeling oh so tired and sore I got out of work early and met Dave for a short and mellow session at one of the dry spots we could find. The concrete was ok, a lot of bigger cracks though. The curb itself sucked as it was so rough. A lot of wax didn’t get it going. I didn’t feel like ollieing or doing many flip tricks. Dave was cruising around doing lots of switch ollies and switch shoves. Neither of us could get the curb to grind so we mostly did stall tricks. Dave had some totally great old man style BSTS where the last S means stall. And they were barely even that. Ha. I kept trying to get the thing to slappy crooks and it would eventually do so. We tried a bunch of switch crook stalls and each got some. They were fun. I was trying to switch ollie up the curb to start the line, Most of the time I was kind of spracking up it, but whatever. I also tried kickflip crook stalls and got remotely close. The sun set and we took off for warmer times with our families.
