skate journal: exhausted and sore dog park morning with sean and dave f (july 1, 2020)

On a hot morning I met up with Sean and then Fuller around 10:30. I was way more sore than I thought I’d be and even slightly burnt out from so much skating the day before. I had put some old 54mm bones on since I was disappointed in not being able to ollie up the ledge in Manitou. It did seem to make things seem shorter, but I was so tired it was a bad time to gauge it. Sean was ripping. Fakie/nollie nosegrinds flying, back 180 the jersey barrier, 5-0s the two step ledge. I basically did nothing other then some slow front 50s and try treflip or nollie treflip until I finally landed a bad treflip. Dave was crushing fast slappy feebles on the metal beam, no complies over a parking block, boardslides to fakie the line of parking blocks. Also back 50s, front 50s and maybe a front nosegrind or two. We played a game of SKATE at the end that was pretty fun and was over pretty quickly. Sean won with fakie 3 shove and Dave and I tried a few until we both got them.
