skate journal: a little valmont and bank spot with skelly then some random ollies (march 9, 2025)
Met Skelly on a warm afternoon at dog park. We chatted a while, then went over to the toddler zone and tried to get warmed up. It was too much for me though and I suggested we bounce to a nearby bank spot. And it ended up being super fun even though we only did a few tricks. I want to go back and do a better ledge trick then front tail or something on the bank to curb. Skelly’s one foot was so sick.
I dropped Skelly off and went back to a nearby building. Did a couple lines with tiny ollies up and over some little curbs. I think halfcab flip, ollie up, ollie down. Maybe the same with heelflip. It was kind of embarrassing how difficult those ollies were. Heelflips were hard too, I was wearing different shoes – Vans. I went around the corner and saw the 4 stair and knew I had no reason not to try it. I got it in about 5 tries and it felt pretty cool.
