skate journal: mellow dog park lunch break (dec 6, 2024)
On an absolutely gorgeous Friday I took a little lunch break and met up with Paul and Will at dog park. I started in Xero’s, disliked them and put on some really old and worn down 272s. It was a pretty mellow and weird session. There were a couple of rippers there training. Paul had back 5-0 front 180, 50s, etc. I had a couple crooks I liked, maybe a back 50 on the curb. Will was later. We all hucked switch backside flip for a bit. Alton showed and he did one in like 3 tries. Mine weren’t even remotely close. Paul left and Will and I played a game of SKATE that I think I somehow won on backside flip even though I did the full under rotated tic tac thing. It wasn’t the best session, but it sure was nice to get outside on such a nice day.
