skate journal: dog park after work and a scooter kid jumped over me (march 2, 2026)

Nice afternoon. Got to dog park an hour before sunset. A couple normal heads were there. I joined Ted and Jason for some attempts at pressure flip. Jason has them good. Ted and I had some that seemed close, but a lot that weren’t. Robbie was there shredding, so fun to watch. His back smiths are insane, so dipped. I don’t remember much after that, but then I started trying a line for a while. Nosegrind 180 the curb, sw noseslide, then kickflip 50 the lurb. Never got it, but was incredibly close. Dave joined us. We were doing whatever when a scooter kid came over and asked to jump over me. It was actually pretty funny as I had asked if he wanted me standing or bent over. After he jumped me Dave and I set up the kicker so we had a 1″ ollie to grind the wood box. And it’s funny because it took both of us several tries. Me more than Dave of course. My trucks were driving me nuts with the kingpin nut coming loose every few seconds. Dave did the cool long line then I bounced for dinner.
