skate journal: sheridan diy with 98 percent and john! (dec 29, 2024)
Pretty nice day out, but I was quite sore from the kickflip beating the day before. I got out because I heard John Brandow was gonna skate. And when I arrived I got to see him do a back blunt on the parking block qp. It was so sick! Lots of chatting before I skated, so many amazing people. Donnie was straight killing it. Filmed like 5 clips in 10 minutes. I took a long time to get anything going besides some slappies. Did have one fun line of wallie the taller blue parking block, front board the angle iron ledge, kickflip up the curb. The front boards were extra fun, some of them might have even been leveled out. After some more chatting I made myself do 5 ledge tricks just to feel slightly accomplished. Crooks weren’t working too well, but I did one okay. Switch noseslide 270 shove was my fav trick. Halfcab noseslide felt cool too. As far as other people skating there were so many so here’s some randomness:
Jack – has a broken rib but managed a first try dolphin flip on the sk8 mafia board
Garrett – Nose manny to nose manny to nose manny
Dan – switch tre the skate mafia board
Ladd – Got denied on feebles
Preston – New guy from WA was shredding
Collin – halfcab flips were sick
Scotty – The man, cool manuals down the weird pad
Wade – Some really cool boardslid variations
Donnie – The ollie to boardslide the spine was so gnar
Joe – hardflip fastplants were rad
A lotta rippers!
