skate journal: rainy day square state with brian, kyle and christian (april 26, 2026)
On a rainy day we met at Square State. I wore some gamechanger insoles, took a while to get used to reduction in board feel and arch support. I mean all I really did was a second try kickflip up the euro, a kickflip to fakie up the two levels, almost a b/s flip up the euro. Kyle had some amazing kickflips to fakie grinds on the edge of the upper level. My foot really started to hurt so I just sat and filmed. Brian went in hard on impossibles and never quite got one. I really wanted to see it. Kyle had a really good treflip and bigflip before going in on big heels and would get like 10 of them. Christian though, would do so many fakie tricks like first try halfcab heel, f/s halfcab heel, rick flip, fakie heel, kickflip, back heel, impossible, and probably a lot more.
