skate journal: saturday dog park (oct 14, 2023)

After walking the neighbors dog I went to dog park to meet up with Rob, Cass, Bratcher, Jesse and the rest of the Saturday crew. It took me a while to get into the groove of things as my legs weren’t great and it was pretty crowded with rippers. Kind of avoided the main lane for a while as it was crowded. Didn’t see others do a whole lot either. Jesse beat me to a line of boardslide the narrow bench, front 180 off the kicker, fakie flip. He would go on to get a first try line of front 50 the narrow bench, pop shove tail grab the kicker, b/s flip on flat. I would get crooks then front shove off it and crooks then kickflip and followed one up with a mighty bad treflip. that still make me happy. Cass kickflipped off it and had a really sick back bigspin. I think I saw Rob front board the tall narrow bench, crooks the bench, manuals, back 50s, nose manual, fakie 50 halfcab out and I think fakie nosegrind 180. I was the last one standing and the main lane had mellowed out a little so I did a few crooks and noseslides and forced myself to get up on the bench with one mighty slow accidental 5-0.
