skate journal: dog park evening with dave (feb 4, 2026)
Wanting to be lazy I forced myself to meet Dave at dog park. It was colder out than anticipated. There were some others there initially, but they left. Dave was doing amazing crooks/sw crooks transfers on the angled blob curb. I took too long to do a warm up line of ride on grind off the wedge then front shove to fakie on the green kicker. I think Dave did sw slappy crooks transfer so butter it was amazing. I tried to do a line of crooks the wood ledge then manny the little pad, but my legs were not working and I could not ollie comfortably. Dave did ollie onto the manny pad then boardslide the upper part, noseslide the bench, manual the c pad, shove off the c pad, nollie front tail front shove the curb. So sick. I had a really bad ollie up the manny pad to front board the upper part. Left pretty bummed on how I skated.
