skate journal: flatground with Joe and Matt (dec 24, 2021)
Up early to skate with the good life homies it was all foggy and wet. Argh. We drove by a new park in hopes it would randomly be dry, but it wasn’t. Then a parking garage where we got the boot immediately. After some breakfast a small patch of flatground had dried up. 3 dudes skating a small 10×20’ section with puddles. We all started slow but would get into our bags. Joe kickflip, fakie flip, cab, halfcab flip, bs flip, fakie varial flip, fakie bigflip. I got some tricks that I haven’t done in months and had a blast. Kickflip, fakie flip, heelflip, halfcab flips both ways, fakie bigflip, bs flip, halfcab heels both ways, treflip, and so close to nollie tre. Matt did a million tricks. All the basic flippers, nollie varial flip, nollie big heel, nollie varial heel, switch varial heel, halfcab late flip.
We skated the park briefly as some of it was dry. I slammed on a puddle kicking a qp really hard. Got a front 5-0 the little ledge. Joe killed the front 50 shoves and front smith. Matt rattled off so many tricks. 5/0s, nosegrinds, bluntslide, crooks, so much. Heck of a fun day.
