skate journal: northside and king soopers bank to curb soreness with nullers (jan 11, 2026)
Pretty sore after skating Frederick so long the day before after being sick for a week. Went up and met Noe, Bo and Hayden at Northside. Bo and Hayden went into a game of SKATE. I cruised around and quickly realized I was probably too sore to really skate. When Noè showed I said “first try treflip” and he went on to land 10 in a row. At least the first couple were sketchy. He did a million flippers including a first try cab flip that was so amazing. I don’t remember myself doing anything worth noting. I tried some basics, they were whatever. There is so many curbs and other little things spread around that it’s hard to flow in that park. Hayden had some good tricks on the little barrier up top. Bo had some fast long grinds on the main wall.
Then we went to the bank to curb area. Noè and I started on the bump area. I did the one trick I was happy with today – a wallie nollie out of the bump and it felt really cool. Noè would go on to do a line of nose manual then nollie tre. I was sucking it up on the bank to curb, not landing a single trick. Grabbed my 8.25/14 venture setup and did front tail first try then almost kickflip axle stall. Filmed Hayden get an amazing line with a slappy, no comply to tail and a Fuller pviot. It was a fun day even if my skating was garbage.
setups mostly 8.3 with thunder which I hated, 8.25/14 with venture
(pain level 6/10)
