skate journal: fun saturday after the snow at casey (april 5, 2025)
Posted in Favorite, Skate Journal on April 7th, 2025 by corpoAfter the snow had cleared and sun came out I went to skate. I felt like going to a street spot and ended up at Casey for some reason. I started out in the back on the rock area which was less appealing than I remembered. For a while I tried to manual the rock lowest rock, but couldn’t do it. I couldn’t ollie the whole thing either. So I settled for a rock ‘n roll which was dumber and harder than I wanted too. I did have a few flippers in between tries at least which felt pretty good.
Then I went to the stage area. I had ollied it and 180’d it and wanted to do more. Decided on front shove and made myself ollie up before each try. The ollies up were way harder. Like so hard for a while and I was getting really frustrated. But then they started to work and I was committing to front shoves. But those turned into a battle too. I was so tired from jumping up and down. But when I got it it felt great.
Then I went down below to the weird manny pad / ledge thing and didn’t really find much to do other than a couple backside ledge tricks. Crooks felt really good. Not shown is the weird approach having to swerve around a rail. Fun day, skated hard.
