Got a decent start and was at the dog park around 7:30 on a somewhat cool morning. The smoke made it seem cloudy, but it wasn’t. I had setup a new board. An 8.25 Jack board with 8″ high ventures. It actually felt great with the exception of the bushings I picked being too tight. Ollie had done some amazing artwork as you can see. Between the awesome artwork on the top and bottom of the board, my friend Jack’s name being on it, smaller trucks and wanting revenge for yesterday I skated much better. At least for the first hour or so. I had some decent lines. Nothing I hadn’t done before really, but lined out some things and didn’t struggled to 50 the cinder block ledges. One line was front 5-0 (accident) the cinder block boogie, kickflip to fakie on a little wedge, halfcab boardslide the curb lounge. Halfcab boardslide was one of the tricks I thought of for some reason which I hadn’t done before. Back 50 the low ledge, back 50 the lowest ledge over the corner, front 5-0 the end of Slow & Low, noseslide to fakie the two step then almost switch noseslide 270 shove the regular black ledge. I tried halfcab noseslide 270 and didn’t get close, got into halfcab crook but came out and rubbed my angle under the ledge, a switch crook jib, a front tail to fakie that was supposed to just be a tail stall but it slid so it counts ha ha. Hucked some flippers. Was happy to get a first try halfcab flip. Came close to switch b/s flip again. Couldn’t get treflip. Tried to get a kick back 50 on the low two step, but failed. Off to work.
