skate journal: neil visit day 7: evergreen park with neil, rob, cass, garrett, hayden and jack (july 18, 2025)
Cass, Rob, Neil and I rolled to Evergreen to meet Jack, Garrett and Hayden. Everyone arrived around the same time. We had cloud cover most of the time and a few sprinkles that didn’t limit anything. Everyone can thank me for the cloud cover because I wore shorts. Here’s some stuff:
glen: struggled to get b/s flip over the hip but eventually did it and fakie bigflip. kf up the curb to slow noseslide off. tried some nollie tres, but never got close. struggled with everything else. had some slams that hurt way more than they should.
garrett: nollie heel, nollie back heel, nollie flip, nollie back flip, treflip, fakie treflip on the sk8 mafia board
jack: kf pivot on the tall mini ramp and nosepick, front smith so easy
rob: charged it. lines galore. beanplant, fast back 50 variations, back smiths, back 50 shove, back 50 180, nollie shove manual from the kicker.
hayden: style line back tail the qp, feeble the rail, back nosegrind, back smith, font nosegrind. then the weird shotgun rail revert
neil: manuals, nose manuals, 50s, struggled from pain it seemed and didn’t get it going to hard
cass: front shoves again, crooks again, back big over the hip, no hardflip though
