skate journal: dog park water blues but fuzz brings the heat (aug 9, 2019)
Had the day off work. Was a little late meeting Dave L and Rob and when I arrived the park was totally soaked. Ugh. On top of that there was a new graffiti tag and trash everywhere. The hype level was very low as we knew the city would be bummed on that. We swept the puddles out for a good 30 minutes. Dave had to leave by then basically. Rob and I got somewhat warmed up around the time Raul showed up to check the graffiti as he had gotten emails from someone in the city. Doh. Fuzz showed up around then. He was able to figure out through his vast network who did the graffiti and had them scheduled to fix it. Power moves. Fuzz pretty quickly front 50’d the top step and then front 180’d out. Whoa. We did our things for a bit, I don’t remember much. Then Fuzz started a session on the black manny pad. Well, not mannys, but quick trick. He started it with ollie up then kickflip off. Then heelflip off. Then bigspin off. Rob and I started trying kickflips off. Fuzz did several more tricks. Front 180 up switch back 180 off. I think 180 up switch front shove off. Rob and I would eventually get kickflip off. Rob went on to get front shove off. Sick. Fun ending to a session that started pretty bleak.
