skate journal: friday afternoon dog park (feb 17, 2023)
After work I bolted to dog park/Valmont which to my surprise both were dry so I just went to dog park. Paul was there. I started on 8.75, then went back to the 8.5 setup. I hated my shoes and my setup. Paul and I tried nollie tail up to switch crooks. He would get a couple. I would get a lot closer than I imagined possible. I would get a couple 50s on the curb and lurb, but ended up bashing my foot and really being completely over the Xeros. I did string together a couple tricks I liked though. Front 50 back 180 out the curb then switch noseslide shove the bench and almost fakie 50 after. Oh I had a couple alright crooks too as did Paul who is somehow new to that trick. Robbie had some ultrafast front 5-0 back 180s on the bus station bench. Matt showed up with Teddy and we chatted.
