skate journal: short flatground at dog park with rob and neil! (may 21, 2018)
After work I went to Dog Park to meet Rob and Neil. I got there first, did some dynamic stretching things then started the warm up process. I had done a couple things then randomly started trying cabs. I may have gotten a couple that could pass as defense in an over 80 game of SKATE. Rob and Neil showed. It was really warm and nice out. There were some warm up lines that everyone tried, but I think only Rob did. The cone started sideways. I had some fun kickflips over the little part of it. Rob was getting his lines going. Neil was breaking protocol and going off the course. Ha. Man it ruled seeing Neil out there. Him and Rob were doing lots of lines with 180s over the cones then a flip trick. I was trying to put the flip trick before the cone, but rarely landing them. The cone was put upright. Rob and Neil went over it first try no problem. I had to hype myself up to try it so I did that with a heelflip and got over the cone first try. That’s a first for me. Felt cool. Rob would go on to 180 it both ways and bean plant over it. Neil halfcabbed it I think. I couldn’t get 360 flip or nollie 3 flip. Then I had to go.
