skate journal: before work 10×10 then after work fun at the little longmont park with dave (sept 24, 2018)
On Sunday I had made a 10×10 list, but was too sore and tired to get at it so I did Monday before work. I warmed up slightly with some shoves, 180s, etc then went right in on the list. Here’s the results.
kickflip – make
heelflip – make
halfcab flip – make
halfcab heel – x
bs flip – make
360 flip – x
fakie 360 flip -x
nollie flip -x
switch flip -x
switch front heel -x
About what I expected, was bummed on not getting treflip and halfcab heel, but the others I understand.
After work I swooped up Dave and we hit the little Longmont park again. There were a few biker kids there, but they didn’t get in the way much. It was already getting dark and it felt like we both put some effort in to get warmed up quick. Dave waxed the bank hip and we both had some front tailslides that were so fun. I had a kickflip to fakie after, then kind of a bigflip. I started trying to ollie the hip rail and after about 30 tries at least got both feet over it before bailing. That would be a big ollie for me. Dave did such a sick line. Bump to 50 the corner ledge, front 180 the hip, fakie ollie to front 50 down the odd hubba on the bank. He tried it with a 5-0 too, but it didn’t work. Then he tried front tailslide shove out for awhile and it looked like he got pretty close to me. I was kind of dorking around at this point not really trying one thing and just throwing random stuff out there. It was fun. I managed to get up the stage once, but struggled with the c ledge 50. Dave kind of did back 50 around the c ledge, did a rad front shove fakie over the tiny hip and managed a kickflip in the dark. This little park is so fun.
