skate journal: nice friday afternoon valmont and dog park (oct 29, 2021)

Yeah yeah once again I went to dog park area after a somewhat chill day of work for once. It was super nice out and to my surprise neither park was busy. I started out in the skate park. I found a kind of fun little section I hadn’t noticed before trying to do some slashes on some little volcanos. I kind of didn’t care about other people doing their pumping and would just skate the little qp there and cut them off. Eventually tried the noseslide then kickflip for awhile, but couldn’t roll away from the kickflip. I kept getting wheelbite. Stupid 54mm wheels.

Then I went over to dog park and skated okay. Nothing really stands out. Oh I was wearing some old Numeric 22s and had some good feeling kickflips. Also halfcab flip and fakie bigflip. Still not enough drive to commit to treflip on the big 8.5. I had gotten to a point where I wanted to try some nosegrinds, but my knee went twang while setting up so called it a session.
