skate journal: dog park lines with dave (dec 16, 2024)
Met Dave as the cold darkness settled in at dog park. There were some youth charging it and filming. Dave was already there trying a switch nose jib revert on the bank to curb. This became a trick we tried for a while with various lines. I’ve skated dog park since so it’s confusing what went down this day. But I know Dave had some good 50’s and 5-0s on his parking block, kickflips and a fakie flip on flat, manuals the weird pad and nose picks to fakie on the bank to curb both ways I think. I had done a few little front boards on the concrete wallie bar things and changed a line around until finally getting slappy front crook, ugly b/s flip, switch nose jib revert. Also a front smith stall then front 50 the green ledge. Dave left as had everyone else. I skated the main ledge area for a bit, really struggled with front 50s on the main bench and got depressed about it. Had several manuals on the little pad though which is rare for me.
