skate journal: early dog park with jake then some flat later (aug 14, 2020)

Posted in Skate Journal on August 14th, 2020 by corpo

Up early on a hot day Jake and I started at 7. We did some warming up on our own for awhile before we both settled in on trying the latest challenge from Fuller – halfcab noseslide shove. Jake does noseslide shove a lot and he got it pretty quick. It took me quite a while longer, but I was pretty hyped when I got it. Then we played a game of SKATE. Seeing as how it wasn’t even 8am there were some struggles, but we actually did pretty good. He got me with frontside flip and pop shove body varial. I got him with halfcab flip, heelflip, f/s halfcab flip, no comply backside shove and ended it with fakie bigflip. Then we each had a line we had to do before we could go. Mine was pretty easy. Hippy jump, front 50 shove, back 50 (I added crooks to it). Jake did wallie, hippy jump, bluntslide. Then it was off to work.

Since it was a chill work day I setup my putter again. After work I went over to the school and tried switch flips and varial heels for awhile. I didn’t get too close on switch flips, but I was close to several varial heels. Didn’t get one though. Argh.
