skate journal: kick back 50/5-0 shove failing then filmer glen (oct 28 ,2018)
Spent some time editing my Stubborns part then went to Safeway feeling that sinking feeling of trying one trick over and over. I really wanted that kick back 5-0 shove. It became apparent pretty quickly I didn’t have the same juice as a couple days ago. I wasn’t getting close. I did manage one kick back 50 shove as shown above. But it was weird the grind totally stopped on me. It felt pretty neat regardless. I did a bunch of pop shoves between tries to try and make the shove out easier. Then I went to Douglass Elem and filmed a bunch. Rob got a line, Sean got a line, Sean got a banger. I didn’t get to see others skate very much which was a bummer. Jack, Carleigh, Joe, Collin, Riley, Scotty and Bernie were there. It ruled seeing Bernie.
