After work met up with Jake and Alexi at dog park. Will showed. Saul said whaddup. Nick was there hucking varial heels. My foot was hurting initially. Jake was skating the barrier and trying treflips. Alexi was landing on halfcab heels and saw some front 50s later on. Will switch manual the low pad then higher pad back to back was so good. Jack and I tried boardslide then crooks which I got. Also I ollied the grate then crooks then b/s flip on flat. Tried a longer line starting with crooks on the backside of the two step, but never really got it. Jake had some long crooks on it. Then we played treflips at the end. I got a bad one, but it’s the first in a while so I was happy. Then we went and had a nice dinner.

Oh yeah, I wore Splays again and it’s crazy how much less overall pain I had.

skate journal: dog park and a little northside (april 19, 2026)

Went to dog park waiting for people to assemble for a foco run. Was hyped to see Collin there. Ted arrived after a while. I started very slowly and felt really off on my board. My feet felt terrible in the 440s, switched to Vans wafflecups then to fastbreaks. Kinda did some whatever stuff but was very hyped on a first try front 50 on the wood ledge. Although I couldn’t do it again. Was cool seeing Collin ripping, he was skating fast. Ted had some good flippers. Later on at Northside we all watched in amazement as Noè did like 100 tricks in 5 minutes. I did a sketchy bigflip on the bank, that was it. Filming after that did not go so well.
