skate journal: nice and warm dog park after work (feb 27, 2025)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 27th, 2025 by corpo

3rd day in a row at dog park, normally spells disaster for me, but it was okay. I didn’t have a ton of energy. The park was surprisingly dead, only a few people skating. One of them was young Ace whipping his 60mm wheels around. I skated pretty mid. Continued to have success with crooks and had a great feeling halfcab flip. But man I struggled with pop and I didn’t like that. Seriously could barely front 50 the main bench. Was close to kf back 50s going slow on the lurb. All in all a pretty lackluster session even though I attempted to skate hard.

skate journal: brief after work dog park basics (feb 26, 2025)

Worked later than I thought I would. Managed to catch a bit of daylight and saw Will. He was working on back smiths on the bank to curb. I did some various warmup non-pop tricks then got a front smith and a really bad front board on the concrete bar thing. I got a crooks on the back of the two step. Somehow a first try manual on the lurb. That was about it. Will had quickly done some 50s on benches, but had to go. I left too as I was extra sore from so much sitting at work.

skate journal: brief windy dog park on the way to work (feb 25, 2025)

Posted in New Shoes, setup change, Skate Journal on February 27th, 2025 by corpo

On the way to work I stopped by dog park for about 20 minutes on a different setup and new shoes. Oh and it was incredibly windy, unskateable. I really just wanted to do a noseslide and crooks. I had 8.3 with forged redrilled v8 ventures and it seemed okay. Well, it noseslid really well and crooked even better. But when it came to front 50, not so good.
