skate journal: fun random after work lafayette with dave (sept 5, 2025)

Posted in setup change, Skate Journal on September 6th, 2025 by corpo

After a work luncheon I met Dave at Erie park on a cooler day. It was actually kind of mellow as far as Lafayette goes. Seemed like we both started off kind of uninspired, but we would do some stuff. I had a setup change so was getting used to that. This is the one. Ha ha ha. 8.5 14.25 Thunder hollows. Dave had some nice tailslides on the mini qp. I had some fun wallies on the corner rock. We hit the little ledge up top for a while. Dave ripped it with noseslide to manual all the way to the bank multiple times and I think lined it out with a kickflip out of the bank. I did some okay front 50s for once, after multiple accidental 5-0s of course. Had front shove out and front 180 out too, but not to manual or even manual on the top. Dave also got switch front crook! I tried sw noseslide kickflip out and kf crooks but was not close to either. Dave came super close to a treflip out of the bank! Down to the spine area, Dave had some cool transfers in between flyout kids pushing through. I took a while to do an easy feeble stall then noseslide half of the hubba. Took a while to do fakie flip on the mellow bank then noseslide the hubba. Hucked a couple fakie tres. Back to the rock area Dave was lining out bigspins and front tails again. I managed a bad bigflip on the bank. Not too shabby of a session all things considered.

skate journal: longmont safeway struggles after work (sept 3, 2025)

After work went to the safeway curb spot Dave had recently fixed up. I proceeded to completely suck and feel so off on my skateboard. Rob stopped by on his bike and said hi which was cool. Dave had some good grinds. Back 180 fakie 50, slappy crooks, 50s, 50 to noseslide. I had a couple mid flippers, slammed on a noseslide, couldn’t commit to 50s. All that said, I’d like to go back and skate it again.
