skate journal: curby curb curbs with saul, luzius, and jake (april 14, 2020)
Went over to the curb right after work. Saul and Jake were there, Dave L would arrive shortly after that. I don’t think a whole lot out of the ordinary happened. I saw Jake get a really nice frontside flip, slappy bluntslide. Dave had a cool manual to back 50, some back bigspins. Saul had some really long backside slappies, slappy crooks, frontside slappies and some sick flashy new swirl wheels. I struggled on flip tricks out of the curb cut, but did get first try front shove into the parking lot, a couple tiny switch slappy crooks and the normal slappies.
