skate journal: little session at the madison wi skatepark finally (nov 2, 2025)
So I finally got to the Madison skatepark. I was having back spasms the last day so I didn’t really think I’d skate, just cruise and look at it then leave. But we got there and it was nice out and I felt decent for a while. The park is pretty amazing. Pretty tight and compact, but other than that amazing. There were a few beginners and one ripper. I didn’t do anything great and I was really hesitant because of my back. There were some granite ledges that were fun to crook, I didn’t get any 50s. I did a line a couple times of noseslide a mini hubba then front 50 a ledge. But after a couple I could no longer 50. Had some other fun noseslides around, some ollies, bailed a lot of kickflips on banks. It was cool to check out though and I would definitely like to skate there again.
