skate journal: chill pond session at valmont with mike (april 26, 2023)
Not too motivated to skate I went to dog park to meet Mike, but he was at Valmont. After some terrible warming up for me we mostly just skated the pond area. And it was really fun. There weren’t too many kids doing the evergreeen pump track, but we were definitely still bumming people out by not just pumping through. For whatever reason I started thinking about ride on blunts and that’s how it got started for me. I actually kind of did some fs ones first. The first line took me a long time, but was really fun. Actually, the noseslide – kickflip line took me a long time too. Mike was skating the steep little qp like it was easy. The Hewitt grinds were sick, the rock fakie carve to fakie rock too. Other than those I really didn’t do much. We cruised around after and I didn’t do much.
