skate journal: dog park after work good weather fun crew (may 13, 2025)

After work I met up with Rob and Paul at dog park on a warm afternoon. I tried to start in my Xero shoes, but after a failed nose manual in which my foot slipped off the board I went back to the 574s. Rob had some casual fast back 50s and brought some front 50s into the mix, manuals, nose manuals, front noseslides. Paul killed the green box doing like every trick except front nosegrind. I started pretty good, but stalled out when my pop stopped working. Managed a line I was hyped on though. Crappy accidental front 5-0 the green box, long boardslide the tiny bar, kickflip a parking block. Tried a bunch of treflips, could not get one. Still had fun though.
