skate journal: green block games mingling and some flatground later (sept 28, 2025)
Posted in Skate Journal on September 29th, 2025 by corpoAnother nice warm early autumn day. Went to dog park for the GB Games. As soon as I set my board down I felt very off, kind of side spasms even. But I rolled around, did some slappies, a few crooks. Played a game of SKATE with Paul where he was bailing every trick and had SKA then came back and beat me. I think he was just hustling me. I lost on halfcab flip and then could not do a heelflip after. Argh. Did some more slappies with old guys. Charlie had a good feeble, Brian too, Shad skated the ledge like a man, Ted ripped the ledge too. Was fun times.
After a nap and the slightest setup change (cast instead of forged baseplates) I went to the side of the school for an hour of flatground. It went better than earlier. I had gotten to 6 flippers in like 15 minutes. Kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, backside flip, fakie bigflip, f/s halfcab flip. Then it took a while to get a couple more like varial flip and f/s halfcab heel. I could not get a heelflip or treflip. They were somewhat close, but not really. Same with nollie tre. Varial heels were closer. Fakie hards not close. Oh well, glad I skated.
