Skate journal: Johnson Vermont skatepark (July 13, 2024)

On a very muggy morning after a bit too much wine I drove to a nearby town to check out their skatepark.  It looked kind of weird and janky in the photos.  It didn’t disappoint in the janky department lol.  Anything with wax was wet when I arrived so I brushed off everything then skated.   The bowl are was way weirder than anticipated and I spent very little time in it.  The only thing I really did was an axle stall then back tail transfer the hip.  I tried to do halfcab flip on flat then kickflip on the bank but for some reason the kickflip took me like 20 tries.   I was pretty over it at that point.  But I made myself do some crooks on the counter top ledge.  Around then another skater showed.  He was cool, had a deformed arm and a poppy kickflip.  He had some good 50s and manuals but took a wicked slam on a front 50.  He left after that.   I was really struggling so I decided on a nollie tre ender which I kind of got.   My clothes were basically liquid from sweat.  I’m not going to miss that much humidity.  Not the most fun session, but whatever, it was fun the get out and see a weird park.
