skate journal: at least i did a new trick, dog park (oct 28, 2022)

Went to dog park after a super busy Friday. I met Sean, he was kind of lazy too. We both tried halfcab boardslide shoves (my latest challenge from Dave) on a parking block in lines. I was doing front 180 off a kicker first, he was doing front 5-0 180 the metal bench. Neither of us got it. I was completely hating my large setup and the effort it took to flip it. Oh yeah, we played a game of SKATE to begin things. I was at SKAT and he did halfcab flip so I tried on on my board and failed, then one on his board where I had no real intention of landing it. But I landed it. Madness in effect. Sean left. I basically just tried halfcab boardslide shove/body varial on the small pad for 30 minutes until I got one. The slam hurt way more than it should have, I blame the neck pain from the rain slam a few weeks back. Ugh. Landing the trick was super fun though.
