skate journal: a bit of skating in the heat with sean and jack (aug 9, 2020)

Was feeling kind of motivated for an early dog park session I got called out for work the minute I was about to leave my house. Argh. That put me in a foul mood that I wouldn’t really recover from and I had lost all desire to skate. I was down to film Jack and Sean though and I met them at a rail/4 stair spot off Baseline. I didn’t really skate. Sean ollied the rail a few times, Jack tried Rick flips off the little drop. Sean wanted to ollie out to the street too, but it was too hectic with cars. Then we went to the sculpture ledge under the stadium. Jack tried a few willy/5-0 double grind things and I thought that would be fun to try. But when I tried it I kind of just ran into the ledge and felt stupid. Jack did some really good Rick flips on flat. It was cool seeing him working on a trick. Sean did some solid fast 50s, but never got further. We played at the bank to curb for a bit. Well, I didn’t even hit the curb, I gave up after ollies up the curb felt like too much work. Sean had a cool 50 to manual. Jack came close to a back smith stall to fakie manual. Then we sat and chilled in the shade and blamed everything on the heat (it was 97).
