skate journal: dog park sunday (jan 16, 2022)

On a nice morning I went to dog park right as a stiff breeze kicked in. Eric and Peewee were there. Kevin would come a little later. I warmed up in the park for a bit, just did the rainbow grind and a few hip ollies. Eric did the pole jam. Then hit the dog park. Some puddles made it less fun. Kevin showed. It wasn’t the best session for me. I was stiff and sore and lacking motivation until a couple hours in when I finally started going. Kevin had a fakie front tail which I hadn’t seen, lots of back 180 fakie 50s, his normal tricks. Eric said he was at “60%” ha ha. Still ripping though some good back 50s almost a fakie heel. I came close to nose manually around the C ledge, tried front tails on the curb, tried front nosegrind shove on the curb (got remotely close), came very close to switch flip, couldn’t treflip and couldn’t heelflip. Mostly a bummer session.
