skate journal: flatground fun with dave at the dog park (june 24, 2016 day 176)

flatground friday

After skating well into the morning Dave talked me into an afternoon flatground session at the dog park. Neither of us had high expectations, but after a couple of quick ollies I had a long line of basic tricks that got me really hyped. Just fakie shoves, 180s, kickflip or something. Dave was having some good lines too. He had cabs, nollie cabs, shoves, fakie shoves, switch shoves, kickflips and remotely close to switch tres again. I rattled off quite a few of my normal flippers quickly, several first try. Heelflip, varial flip, fakie varial flip, halfcab flips, frontside flip, fakie bigflip, kind of nollie cab, took awhile to get halfcab heel and 360 flip, couldn’t quite get nollie treflip or varial heel or fakie tre. Way more fun then I was expecting to have.
