skate journal: early dog park again (may 13, 2020)

Well another morning I woke up 3 hours before I needed to be logged in for work. So I went skating. When I first arrived the other quiet guy was there, he was charging. I warmed up pretty well, the bigger setup felt heavy, but good. Other than what’s in the video I tried some front shove 50s on the cinder block ledge and didn’t get close. Had some 50s on other things. I lacked some confidence, but I skated pretty hard. Nothing in the clip came easy. The front slappies are really fun. I thought the crooks would look better than a quick jib. The line of boardslide then back 50 took way too long. The halfcab flip, front 50 line was followed by boardslide the barrier, back 5-0 the little pad, then bail nollie back tail the mini cinder block ledge. The no comply sex change took like 20 minutes. It was challenging, but fun. I wore a hole through my sole so new shoe blues next session.
