skate journal: dog park fun then some dark flatground (aug 28, 2019)
Nice night. Went to meet Dave L at the dog park. Upon arrival it appeared very chaotic and unfun. But it ended up being a pretty fun session mainly because my warm up went pretty well. I got a kickflip to fakie on the bank pretty quickly. Dave shot the video of it. I didn’t see Dave skate much, but he did do a casual manual or two. I mostly had fun after Dave left. I tried hard. Had some wallies, crooks on the back of the step ledge, halfcab noseslides, halfcab noseslide to fakie, halfcab flips, heelflips. Actually I don’t remember much more. At the end I couldn’t back 50 over the top on the lower step and it bummed me out.
After it got dark and I cleaned up some trash I drove to a random nearby parking lot on Pearl and skated flat for a little bit. It started slow, but I got a couple helipops to get it going. Then backside flips, heelflip, a couple treflips back to back, almost a first try varial heel. I hucked some more, but was pretty content after the double treflips.
