skate journal: buena vista park with steve and his boys (march 20, 2019)
Feeling jittery from too much caffeine on a nice sunny morning the whole family hit the BV park. I hate that park. I haven’t skated in front of my mom in forever. I tried to show her and my brother a bean plant to tail on a qp and slammed so bad with my back on the coping. There was stop rocks all over the park so it was scary rolling then all of a sudden hitting a qp. So that was rather embarrassing. My brother skated a tiny bit. My nephews mostly sat on their boards and raced around. I got a couple kickflips to fakie, some little qp tricks, bailed front 50s on the ledge that turns into a qp and yelled when I repeatedly hit stop rocks. As if the Buena Vista skatepark didn’t already suck enough, the addition of millions of stop rocks and broken pool coping put me over the edge.
