skate journal: halfcab crook hucks at dog park (jan 15, 2026)

Posted in Skate Journal on January 16th, 2026 by corpo

Shortly before dark I met Will at dog park. Did some warming up, nothing special. Oh one thing I liked was a better feeling than normal switch front nose on the bench then fakie nosegrind the curb. Then Will and I went full on huck mode. I tried a million halfcab crooks. He did sw flip back tail attempts for a while, then switch front 50s then tried switch front nosegrind which he was somewhat close to. I think I probably did a few halfcab crook jibs, but never landed one that actually locked in and grinded. It was still fun though. Want to go back for that one!

skate journal: broomfield evening with will, justin, jameson (jan 13, 2026)

Went to Broomfield after dinner. It was nice enough out. Especially for mid January. Started on my 8.25/14″ with Thunders. It never felt good. Switched to my 8.25/14.25″ with Indys. It felt better. I did not do anything great, struggled with pop. Although I did have a line at one point that I liked. Axle stall to rock the bank to curb, crooks the black ledge, nollie tail 270 shove the blurb, fakie back smith fakie the quartapotty. I tried a bunch of treflip noseslides on the bump to ledge that were closer than normal, but I’ve never been remotely close so it doesn’t mean much. Will had a banger line of back tail shove then nosegrind 180 the black ledge. Nice switch flip at the end too. Jameson did a backside flip fakie 50 on the blurb really good. Justin ripped like he always does.
