skate journal: okay boulder park before work and valmont garage after in the rain (aug 26, 2025)
On the way into work I stopped at Boulder park on a nice day with a questionable setup change. 8.3 with T2s again. It was okay. Felt really good grinding on the qp, but not so much for ollies or ledge tricks since T2s are so tall. I cruised a bit, got kind of dialed in, did some little basics. Then kind of went in on front 50s over and over on the various ledges and they kind of worked. Even did one on the bump to ledge which I haven’t done in a long time. Kind of forget what else I did, but it was a fun quick session with the park all to myself.
After work the rain made for a change of plans after work and I ended up at the ol’ Valmont parking garage. I was sore, but I did try to get things going. My board felt better than the smaller one yesterday, but all things considered I landed less flip tricks. Almost none. I did have some fun with the weird curb area and relived the 180 pivot shove trick from a couple years ago.
