skate journal: flatground friday before work (oct 20, 2016 day 294)

fabulous flatground facility

Went to the dog park before work on a nice morning. Right as I pulled up so did the van of painters. Doh. I thought I would be bumming them out, but it turns out that one of them (Chris) skates and is friends with LBR and everything. So rad. He took out his downhill board and had me ride it. I fell off because I’m used to pivoting on the tail, but there is no tail. Ha. So I skated, but I was kind of in the back corner trying to stay out of their way. I did not skate well, but not horrible. I got a few of my normal ones. Kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, varial flip, 360 flip with a hand down, fakie bigflip, maybe a b/s flip. I ended with a nollie tre that put a huge smile on my face. Man I love that trick.
