skate journal: dog park with rob and nate! (nov 8, 2022)

After meeting Nate’s son and pawning him off on Liz to babysit we went to dog park on a cool evening. We were later than anticipated and Rob had already been skating a while. I tried to get warmed up while they chatted. I did not feel too good on my skateboard nor would I at any point. I did get a front smith on the lower ledge though which stoked me out, it even grinded. Also did several “nollie” front 50 180s which is a rare one. Flip tricks were really hard and felt impossible. Rob still killed it for a while cruising and styling his staples. Nate back 50’d the narrow metal bench real quick then slammed on a little boardslide. That’s the Nate I know and love ha ha. He went on to skate really well even though he was on my 8.1/Thunder setup. Nosegrinds, smiths, 5-0s, manuals, nose manual 180s and nollie flips! It was a fun session. Near the end no one else was really skating so we filmed a few clips to document the bro fest. Great skating with you Nate!
