skate journal: little dog park/valmont friday action with Nolan! (may 17, 2024)
After work on a Friday I met up with Rob, Nolan and Cass. Yes, Nolan! He’s in town. We didn’t hit it too heavy, kind of mostly talked for a while and tried to talk Nolan into airing the big bike jump. At dog park I saw Rob do a good boardslide. I got a switch front nose. Cass did a good rock fakie on the tall part of the jersey. I got a couple non-decked rocks both ways. Nolan did a bunch of tricks super easily, a few of which we even filmed. Next we went over to the park and cruised it for a while but it was pretty scootered out. Cass got a bigspin over the hip. I got first try kickflip to fakie and big flip on the mellow bank. Nolan flew and casually killed it but didn’t air over a scooter kid like I had hoped. After that a nice dinner at the dark horse with Cass, Nolan and Matt.
