skate journal: windy curb action right after work with dave (june 13, 2019)
Posted in Skate Journal on June 14th, 2019 by corpoGot home from work on a stormy afternoon and planned on chilling/napping for awhile. But Dave called and said he got off work and was going to skate Glenn Close. So I rallied and went over there. I was in a lot of pain so tried some cupsoles initially. Some PJs, but they were too tight. I was in a lot of pain and everything was a total struggle. I slammed on a slappy crook to start out. Ugh. Dave was doing some long noseslides to fakie. The wind made the spot feel more exhausting than normal. I got a couple slappy front crooks, nollie front tails, regular slappies, a couple slow slappy hurricanes, gave up on slappy front feeble, a few front 50s and a nollie shove (no pop) to manual out of the curb cut. I had a slam on something that really hurt my knee. Ugh. Dave had a good front slappy, had to give up on slappy crooks shove and ended with a really good nollie back tail. Another dude joined us for awhile. Ben. Turned out he went to school there with my daughter. Ha. He is rad.
