skate journal: spots near my in-laws on christmas eve (dec 24, 2025)

Had a bit of time to get some skating in. Checked out the new school area which didn’t offer as much as the old school, but it did have a long red curb and a great new manny pad. I did some slappies, a few flippers and took like an hour to get a clean manual. The curbs there are weird, they are half transition. One thing I tried was a lot of Janoski flips after manual attempts. Some were remotely close. Then I went to the park area which I had somehow never skated before. The weird kinked hubba was terrifying as it was so low to get on. I still should have tried it though, instead I took a while to ollie over the curb part. Lastly I skated the double sided fountain. I had done some noseslides, but boardslide was taking me forever. Kind of got one, but not really and had to go. Decent little session.
