skate journal: dog park flatground with jake (oct 13, 2016 day 287)

Went to the dog park after work on an absolutely gorgeous day. Seriously incredibly beautiful. Temperature, no breeze, etc. I started off terrible. Actually started to think maybe I should go to the doctor because I felt so disoriented and weird. I’m going to blame insomnia. It took me about 20 minutes to feel comfortable with kickflips. Jake showed up around then and went into a game of SKATE. I wasn’t expecting much, but ended up getting quite a few tricks. He got me on treflip and switch front shove. Also a couple of other tricks I forget. But I had landed a couple rare ones like halfcab heel and fakie heel. I ended up winning on a f/s no comply 360. I had no idea Jake doesn’t have that trick, but I certainly will remember that. Ha. Second game was no repeats. I took a long time to get a backside flip, we both failed at fakie tres, I forget what else went down, but I won it. Then I wanted to do a treflip before I left. Well, 30 minutes later I landed a crappy one. Ugh. Total damper on my first ok feeling session in awhile.
