skate journal: boulder park mellow then a little douglass (july 24, 2021)
After a bad night of sleep and some slacking I ended up going to Scott Carpenter. I really only skated with Nick. I bailed my first 3 axle stalls on various tiny qps and was so ready to be over it, but Nick and I ended up having some fun on the parking block qp. We did lines. Grind the tiny little qp, rock fakie the parking block qp, fakie front smith or 50 the tiny qp. It was really fun. He tried to bring the front 50 to fakie. I was able to get some grinds around the corner. Nick had to leave, I skated around aimlessly, felt so bad on my board, did nothing.
After some lunch and running boards to Square House I went to Douglass. It was really nice out. I was sore, but skated kind of okay. Maybe it just felt good to skate street because as I write this I feel I have nothing to report. Some noseslides, bad crooks, did the splits trying a heelflip. Got a couple bad halfcab flips. I hated my board the entire time wanting a bigger board. Or so I thought ..
