skate journal: dog park with bernie then some zuni and bank spots with nullers (june 7, 2020)
Feeling kinda blah I ended up at dog park in the morning to meet Bernie and Eric. I haven’t seen Bernie in a long time so was super hyped. I hadn’t done a whole lot before Bernie showed up. He claimed to be rusty, but was quickly doing front smith 180s on the cinder block ledges. Eric had some long crooks, but not sure he got out smooth, goot front tails, front 5-0s. I didn’t get anything of note, although committed to every little back 50 at least. Eric left, Bernie and I played a game of SKATE. It took forever. He was rusty, but I had no excuse. I ended up getting a couple tricks, I don’t even remember who won. It was probably Bernie.
Then I met at Zuni park feeling really tired and bailed some axle stalls. Garrett was ripping, lofty kickflip. Kevin had switch lip. Bo feeble the big rail. Hayden got the feeble too I think. Jack was about the only one skating the non 3′ qp section. We went to a gnar bank with a gap in it. I just did some axle stalls on the mellow side. Kevin got an ollie over the gap. Jack, Hayden and Garrett got some bangers. Went to another bank spot. I tried to boardslide the bank to curb, but it was too dry and wax wouldn’t change that. Jack had some cool tricks like front 50 to back 50, ollie over the curb to bigspin to tail. Joe did a super sick front crook to fakie and almost got it switch. Kevin came close to front 50. Garrett got noseslide to fakie. Bo tried quick up to 360 flip, but never got his feet on the tre. Man it was hot.
