skate journal: dog park after work nollie tre fails (sept 12, 2023)

Posted in Skate Journal on September 13th, 2023 by corpo

Went to dog park after work feeling a little more tired than I had hoped. This really exposed the heaviness of the Mindys and may have been the start of their death. I skated alright, didn’t really do anything noteworthy for a while. Rob added no comply onto the pad and front board off into his dog park resume. Then added to it with a no comply shove up it first. Some fine quick foot action. Paul was doing lots of flatground and we started trying nollie tres. An hour later he had landed one. I had landed on one, but couldn’t quite stand up from it. Doh. Paul and Rob flinged some varial heels for a while, Paul getting one. This wore me out and I had nothing left. It was fun trying nollie tres though. Oh yeah Eric had shown and had some mean nollie flip and heels over the parking block.

skate journal: short school session after being sick all weekend (sept 11, 2023)

After work on a Monday following a weekend of feeling like garbage I finally felt up to a little skating. I went to the school with no real plans shortly before sunset. I ended up having a good time even though my legs initially felt like garbage. My warm up line in the back area was noseslide the blue bench, kickflip on flat, 180 onto one of the rocks. Then I did a couple axle stalls each way on the rock. Then down to the flatground area for a slappy crook then heelflip. Took a bit. Was happy to skate though.
