skate journal: boulder park before work round 2 on lows (jan 14, 2022)
Wanted to kind of do a side by side comparison between 5.6 hollows and 5.2 lows so I went to Boulder park again before work. I had a fun morning. After a bit of warming up I kind of felt like filming a little to make the blog more enjoyable so I set it up for the bank to ledge. Noseslides are always fun. Was hyped to actually 50 more than a few inches. The 5-0 was an accident. Hyped on the crooks. Then I just skated whatever and did a lot of hucking. I skated the ledges better and would get a fakie nosegrind on the bench as well as first try front 50. Couldn’t get b/s flip over the hip, but did get remotely close to cab flip over the little hump hip. Tried a bunch of varial heels to fakie and didn’t get my feet on any. Ended with a front 50 front 180 out on the bump to ledge. It took awhile. Fun morning, I liked the lows better.
