skate journal: dog park blah with dave (june 9, 2025)
Was tired and sore, but Dave had a bit of time to skate so I met him at Valmont. But when I got there it was overrun by striders and bikes. In fact, one little kid ran into me as I stood by the entrance to the park. It didn’t hurt, but what the heck. Dave was skating the bank to curb. He did like a million back pivots and kickflips and then would get a backside flip. I took too many tries to get a no comply to tail, front pivot and front 50. We both did nollie back tails too, Dave’s was actually good though. I posed a lot of flippers. Dave left and I had the whole park to myself but I was beat. Did a line around the park like boardslide a flat bar, front 50 the lurb, crooks the bench, back 50 the curb, halfcab noseslide the green box. Then I was complete toast.
