skate journal: dog park suck (oct 14, 2019)
Posted in Skate Journal on October 15th, 2019 by corpoWent to dog park right after work on a very nice day. There was almost no one there. Just a couple kids and then a couple 20 something rippers. My legs felt fine, but I had nothing. Literally not happy about a single thing I did in an hour. Only committed to the front 50 on the little bench once going super slow. It was pathetic. I would later realize it was partly due to trying some different insoles which were much thinner reducing my already minimal amount of confidence. I really hate skating right after work, but it’s kind of the only way I can skate here with how early it gets dark. Phil showed up, that was cool talking to him at least. I did a few switch front noses, halfcab noseslides. Got into halfcab crook, but didn’t land any. Oddly enough, I wished I had a smaller board this time around.
