skate journal: square state sucking with jesse (april 30, 2024)
Went to Square State on a nice, but breezy night and had it all to myself for a while before Jesse showed up. I had worn my 600s in hope of less pain. There wasn’t really less pain, but there certainly was less board feel. I felt totally off and horrible on my skateboard for the entire session. I had a warm up line before Jesse got there of slappy the bank to parking block, front smith the mellow wood bank to curb then a ride on back 50 terrible front 180 out. Jesse showed and rattled off some tricks on flatground and the mini ledge. I tried too, but kept not ollieing good and couldn’t kickflip. I was going mad. At one point I got front smith stall on the wood bank to ledge then a front smith on the little qp after. Jess had a similar line. He couldn’t quite get a bean plant into the miniramp. I had a line of front tail the wood bank to ledge then hurricane the little qp. That was about the only thing worth a crap I did. Jesse had a back d on the qp.
