skate journal: dog park lunch with the daves (jan 3, 2020)
Posted in Skate Journal on January 5th, 2020 by corpoTook an intentional day off from skating on the 2nd so that I would have no chance to try and skate every day of 2020. I was feeling a little better physically and went to the dog park while working from home to meet the Daves. They were both there already as were a few others, but it wasn’t crowded. I felt incredibly rusty and timid. It would be the first time trying to really olllie since hurting my ankle a week earlier in Omaha. It felt fine, I was just timid. Dave L was popping over the parking block easily, pop shoves over it too, front and back 50s, back 5-0s on the cinder block benches no problem. Dave F had some nice boardslides and a boardslide 270. I also saw him get his first kickflip since his infection over Thanksgiving. It was rad. I didn’t get anything worth writing about, but I was happy to start ollieing again.
