skate journal: trying the same trick over and over again at westy park with dave (march 4, 2016 day 64)
Another day off work. Dave came over around 1 and we rolled to the little Westminster park. There were a couple other skaters when we got there, but they left after awhile. Warming up was almost impossible for me. Even though I haven’t missed a day of skating I haven’t been in my normal routine. Aka, lots of skating, lots of flip tricks, etc. I really didn’t do much more then get warmed up enough to try front 50 bigspins and then try them for two hours. Ugh. Even broke my board. Dave did a lot though. Good frontside ollies over the quarterpipe hip, all the grinds above, nose manual, much, much more. He was ripping. I had put some old Bones STFs on as I was starting to think the softer 99a Spitfires didn’t have as much pop. I was right. So much for skating softer wheels.
