skate journal: very early boulder park before work (may 5, 2025)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 5th, 2025 by corpo

Woke up early, went to Boulder park around 6:30am. The first half hour or so was comically bad, my body was not working. I tried a warm up line that moved around as I tried. Front d the good long low qp, nollie front 180 out of the bank, fakie flip on the little bank up top, nollie tail the triangle ledge, ollie onto the bench. I was really struggling to ollie. Had a couple 50s that ended up feeling good on the bench, one with a front 180 out. Took a while to get the quickest little crook on the hubba. Was scary, haven’t done a downhill one in forever. I think that was about it.

skate journal: sunday fun at dog park (may 4, 2025)

On a really nice day met up with a good crew at dog park. Kevin, Sean, Rob, Jack, Ted, Paul, Gordon. Kevin was having some foot pains so he didn’t get too far before it hurt and he couldn’t really skate. But he would smoke me in SKATE later. I was sore to start, but ended up feeling pretty good. I skated my smaller 8.25 and liked it. And its’ funny how much better pop I had. At one point I did a nose manual on the curb followed by kickflip onto the lurb. Had a couple front 50 shoves on the green ledge. Tried to ollie over stuff. Crooked the tall bench, some on the top rope. Saw some good Rob mannies around the corner and back 50s. Sean had some back 5-0 front 180s then halfcab manual around the corner. Jack had some good front noseslides on the green ledge. Paul, Gordon, Kevin, Sean and I played a game of SKATE. I was the first one out. And it was on a treflip. Argh. I was toast after that. I’m missing a ton, it was a fun session.
