skate journal: crowded boulder park with dave (sept 11, 2025)
After my last day of work in a long time I went to Boulder park to meet a dude buying a board. I told him to look for the oldest person there, but Dave came and blew my cover. It was kind of crowded so I mostly just hid in the tight tiny qp section. And it was really fun. I would get the little line a few times of back 50, rock fakie, fakie front 50 fakie. I don’t think I’ve done fakie 50 fakie like that before. Not sure it counts on such a little qp, but it was fun. Dave did some coolness too with front 5-0s on the barrier and then blunts on the smaller qp. Then worked his way up into full speed blunts with Tom Penny steeze after. After that the park had died down a bit and we mingled outside of the tight qp area. I did a couple bench tricks including a first try front 50 that made me happy. Dave and I had some front 50s on the hump to ledge. Dave did a bunch and backed them with shove on the hip bank and switch front nose and halfcab nose. He also got manual and nose manual on the hump to triangle. I got a front 50 on the bump to ledge, but couldn’t back it with a b/s flip over the hip. There was more, it was a pretty fun session.
