skate journal: no confidence trying to get it back at dog park (june 10, 2019)

Posted in Skate Journal on June 11th, 2019 by corpo

On a super nice day after work I went to the dog park (avoiding a nap which is so hard). I wore the 379s again with orthotics. It felt okay. I struggled like crazy. I had no confidence, skated super slow and landed almost nothing. But somehow it felt like I was kicking the pain a little. I only got kickflips, fakie flips, a couple halfcab flips and that’s it. I hucked a few nollie back heel, switch front heels and treflips.

skate journal: trying to ollie again (june 9, 2019)

Posted in Skate Journal on June 11th, 2019 by corpo

After driving down from BV and some food/chill time I brought India downtown and hit the streets. Pushing immediately felt worse than I had hoped. The shoes too, wasn’t feeling them. I started at Wells Fargo. After a bit I did a new trick, front axle to fakie. But it wasn’t good enough to post on the gram. Then I went around a bit and ended up at St Julien. I can’t believe how hard it was to ollie the 3″ tall median. Ugh. I tried a line of ollie down the median, manual the median, crooks the other ledge down by the dumpsters. The ollies started hurting so I stopped. Then basically I just stopped altogether and walked back to my car.
