skate journal: SKATE with jake at dog park with rob too (march 19, 2021)
On a really nice day I met Jake and Rob at the Dog Park after getting a new shipment of Null boards. I was sore from the previous day of slams and lots of skating. I struggled to warm up and challenged Jake to a game of SKATE. It didn’t go well for either of us. I mean we did some of our normal tricks alright and all, but tricks like halfcab flip were a battle. When Jake got halfcab flip I finally landed it too. I slammed super hard on a sex change attempt. It made me mad. My left wrist can’t take many more slams like this. Jake had SKA and I had S and we were stuck for awhile. I got him with heelflip, he got me with creepy spin, front shove and fakie 3 shove. We went in on treflips. Jake had landed on several, but never rolled away. I landed on one stationary with both heels touching. We eventually gave up on treflips. i ended up winning on fakie varial flip which is odd because I couldn’t do a regular varial flip to save my life. Rob had been skating the park. Back 50s the low guy, front board and halfcab noseslide the new bench, fakie bigs, one foots, style as always. That was all the skating, I was so beat.
