skate journal: decent dog park after work (oct 23, 2025)

After work on a perfect cloudy afternoon I met up with Paul, Ted and several others were there. It was a rad crew. Sold Ted a new Hayden board and people were digging the graphic. My arthritis was finally not fully raging and I felt somewhat comfortable on my board. Robbie, tall guy and sketchy fast guy were ripping through the block like it was nothing. Paul was ripping the new ledges. I really liked the quick line in the clip above. I didn’t really do anything well, but was finally moving okay and it felt nice. Mostly just tricks I’ve done before although I did try some nollie front tail bigspins out that felt possible. Paul learned slappy sw crooks to tail. I liked my crooks then front shove line even if neither trick was done very well. That ledge is really tall.
