skate journal: rad times on a warm evening at lafayette park (dec 7, 2015 day 327)
Picked up Carleigh and met Blake and Nolan at Lafayette park around 7:30. The park wasn’t crowded and the only people there were skateboarders. That’s a rare site at Lafayette so that was cool. Carleigh hadn’t skated in awhile. I hadn’t skated tranny in awhile. Blake and Nolan were ripping the toilet bowl. We were all there for a bit then kind of spread out and did our own things before we mostly skated the main rock. Carleigh almost got a line of feeble on the rock and then feeble to fakie on the tight qp. Nolan did that line above 3rd try. Blake almost did a backside nosepick which would have been crazy. I had a wallrides and wallies over the corner of it. The wallies over the corner are one of the funnest things at the park. Also fun is the little granite ledge. Although it is a bummer you can really only hit it one way. I saw Blake back 5-0 back 180 out. Nolan would get a darkslide on it towards the end of the night. Yes, that was correct, a dark slide. Nolan can do anything. I love grinding granite and got a few tricks on it. Front 50, front 5-0, front 50 shove, front 5-0 shove, front 50 front 180 out. The front 5-0 shove out was first try and it’s been months since I’ve landed it so it felt great. I know a lot more went down then I’m listing here, but it was a fun night for sure.
