After watching Suciu’s new part a couple time and trying to keep my legs moving at work I went to the dog park on a super nice day. It was rad there was only a few people there. Rob came for a bit, but left not feeling the stoke. Warming up went better than normal for me. I guess keeping my legs fresh and the Suciu part had me hyped. I stuck with boardslides for awhile. Had some fun long lines with totally basic tricks. I had made a trick list for the day, but forgot to put halfcab crook on it. I tried one on a concrete bench and it locked in really good. I should have landed it first try. Instead I took about 50 tries, but man, I finally got one. It felt so good and I even got a fist bump from another dude skating the bench. That would be the highlight for me. I lost some juice after that for awhile, but eventually found it again and posed some more tricks. I wanted to do a nosegrind shove, but I never even committed to front nosegrind. At one point I told myself “if I do this wallie I’ll commit next try” and I slammed so hard because of wheelbite. So that was a real turn off. I have no idea how people skate big wheels. I putzed around some more. Did a couple little ollies. Tried to quick feet the 2 step with ollie up then boardslide or ollie up then 50, but never could. Then I left. Kinda bummed on how I skated overall, but quite hyped on finally landing a halfcab crook.
