Went to dog park after work. It’s been awhile since I’ve been there in the afternoon and it was much more chill than I had imagined. I was there solo for awhile. I felt terrible on my board so I kinda just stuck to the curb high ledges and built up some board feel. I did some slappies, little 50s, nollie tails and started to feel better. Slappy front crooks felt better than ever. Then I kinda cruised all over for awhile before settling in on some lines on the far side. The famous artist Rob showed. Ha, there was this dude that saw my board and asked if it was from the artist in Rooster. He was cool and gave Rob some much deserved props. I got a couple lines that probably sound alright on paper. Halfcab flip, crooks the tall side of the two step, heelflip. Ollie the kinked flat bar, noseslide to fakie the tall part of the weird ledge, fakie flip. Rob was getting firing lines left and right. Posted up boardslides on the tall bench, no comply shoves, back 50, and much more. I didn’t get a whole lot more, but didn’t skate terribly or anything. Just normal dog park stuff. Near the end I tried a f/s halfcab flip and got some hot pocket that hurt and took me out. Still a fun session, was super hyped that Rob came. I really do hate these Lakais though.
