skate journal: chicken bowl in warm weather (dec 30, 2016 day 365)

Went to Saulside/Chicken Bowl/no official name yet on a nice afternoon after working from home. I felt pretty hyped to be skating for my 365th day in a row, but kind of nervous that I would get hurt with one day before the ultimate goal. I started off ok it seemed, but didn’t really do anything that stood out except a baby step up to back 50 over the hip. I’ve never skated with Mark before. He is really fun to watch skate. He does some gnarly stuff, skates fast, has crazy falls. It’s rad. He even shot his board into the neighbors yard. When Saul does the quick grind runs it’s so sick. They are so fast. He tried some frontside moves and got a good back 50 on the gnarlier flat wall coping. Dave was on fire. As you can see in the clip, he attacked the hip. The back 5-0 over the hip was so good as was everything else.
