skate journal: safeway ledge with kevin, sean and a brief fuzz appearance (aug 4, 2018)

On a hot lazy Saturday I went to Safeway to meet Kevin, Sean and Fuzz. Kevin was there when I got there doing my kind of warm ups – noseslides without ollieing. Except he moved on to flips tricks and grinds way quicker than me. I took a few tries to get into grind, but had a fun feeling back 50 and some front 5-0s that may or may not have been intentional. Sean showed up and I stopped landing tricks. Ha ha. Seriously though, I didn’t land anything for awhile. Sean rattled off steezy basics along with some great looking flippers. Kevin got a nollie front nosegrind pop out which was probably trick of the day. I attempted some front tails, but they were just little tail stall jibs. I couldn’t get kick back 50. Kevin got back tail and then kick back tail. My flip tricks were not working. Fuzz showed up and I chilled with him. Then it started raining so we went and got tacos.
