skate journal: cold friday dog park heft (april 21, 2023)

Posted in setup change, Skate Journal on April 22nd, 2023 by corpo

Went to dog park after work having changed trucks to Ventures. They did not feel good for ollies, but flippers did feel better. I would have a pretty blah session, but managed two things I hadn’t done before. A front tail shove on the curb and a front smith to fakie on the c lurb. Neither one grind/sliding. Still felt cool.

skate journal: decent silver session (april 18, 2023)

On a breezy night I went to Square House and for a bit it was just Jesse and me. Warming up felt impossible for me, nothing felt good. Nick and Jake showed then Ben, David and D5. Gray would skate most of the time. We were on the miniramp for a while and I skated it so terribly. Moved on to the main area and still skated pretty bad, but better. Got a first try kickflip up the euro. Gray, Jesse and I all got pop shoves up the euro. I had never done it there and it was pretty fun. I would go on to get a b/s flip up it which felt really cool. Jess, David and I finished with a game of SKATE that I got destroyed on which was ultra depressing. Especially getting letters on tricks like halfcab flip and heelflip. Jesse won it with a super good fakie tre. Struggling so bad with flippers sent me into setup madness.
