skate journal: fun long sunday dog park (april 2, 2023)
Somehow the forecasted wind was not in effect. Met a typical dog park Sunday crew. Rob, Jack B, Jesse, Dave, Nick, Tim and probably more I’m forgetting and the session is all a blur at this point. Some highlights I remember. Seeing Rob do the halfcab back 50, back 50 back 180, nose manuals around the C. Jack was working on crooks. I got a line I worked for of front 50 front shove then back 50 back shove, but the back 50 shove was beyond terrible. I had thought we’d be done skating, but Dave showed up. I continued to skate a long time actually but don’t remember a lot more other than I did seem to skate pretty hard. I had some really good feeling crooks. Dave worked up to an insane line. Switch front nose on the upper deck up onto the pad, front shove on flat, manual around the C pad then front 50 the upper deck like a stud! After that I was sitting and he went on to beat a group of teens in a game of SKATE.
