skate journal: pahrump skatepark early (nov 12, 2022)

While visiting my aunt I had some time in the morning so I went to check out the skatepark. There was a crazy rain storm a couple days prior so the middle of the park was mostly full of sand/mud/water. Which was fine because it was lumpy quarterpipes and steep banks mostly anyway. The outside of the park was smooth and had several ledges. My body was thrown off from all the driving and sitting around, but I made myself jump. Had some okay warm ups doing some slow basics. Could barely ollie onto the lowest ledge shown in the clip and barely got some super slow front 50s. Had one great feeling heelflip, halfcab flip. After a while I went in on fakie 50 shove out and I went nuts trying. I was so angry, hating my setup beyond believe. Never got a clean one. Then I needed to go. I really wanted to keep skating. It was a cool park, the ledges are amazing. There was a fun little flyout zone too that I had some fun kickflips out of.
