skate journal: after work valmont with dave (march 6, 2024)

Stopped at Valmont on the way home from work and met Dave. Dave ran the hip the way he does with some nollie and switch 180s both ways I think. I took way too long to front 180 the hip after carving the barrier. I posed some flippers over the hips and bailed a lot of ollies to fakie on various obstacles. Dave was going for a line of boardslide to fakie the rainbow and then switch front bigspin over the hip. He seemed somewhat close to me. I’m sure there is more, but I’ve waited to long to write this. Dave had to leave and I went to the dog park for the first time in a couple months. I did a crooks on the bench and a couple very slow front 50s on the curb and lurb.
