skate journal: Omaha 20th street DIY with Joe (June 29, 2023)
After a rain delay I met Joe at the 20th street DIY. It had gone from pouring rain to sunny and super hot/humid in no time. It took me a while to get going. Partly because there is so much greatness that I couldn’t figure out where to start. The line I worked up to was really fun. Grind over the love seat, crooks, kickflip to fakie. I had some way better feeling crooks than I did in the clip. Joe rattled off his ledge maneuvers and got some legit crooks. The rock and roll I did on the double qp was so fun. That’s why I love this park so much. There is some weird fun stuff but also some perfect ledges. I would get a line of front slash the little qp then slow front 50 shove the red ledge. Hyped me up to ollie that high. Joe’s boardslide around the bar was gnar as was the halfcab flip ender. Super fun session. I’m missing a lot. Man I wish DIYs were as good in CO. Maybe I should do something about that.
