skate journal: early dog park with rob and aki! (aug 4, 2019)

Up early on a warm morning I met rob at dog park. I was hyped to see Aki was there too!  He was already popping and doing tricks.  Warming up was hard for me.  Took awhile before I could ollie.  Aki had a nice two bench run. Front tail then front board. He also had kickflip onto the manual pad, manual, back 50 on a bench.  Rob had back 50 on the step right away.  We hit the benches. I struggled with front 50s.  Had a line of front 50 then Nollie back tail.  Halfcab noseslide then crooks.  Couldn’t get switch front nose then fakie nosegrind.  Rob and I got a couple of sick lines ‘over 40’ style back to back. I got front 50 180 then switch noseslide 270 shove.  He did halfcab noseslide to fakie then halfcab boardslide.  We were hyped.  Rob did a bunch more smooth halfcab boardslides and crooks. That was pretty much it.
