skate journal: glasgow riverside museum skatepark day 1 (june 6, 2026)
On the first day of a family vacation in Glasgow went to this really fun looking park in the afternoon. We walked there and it was quite a long and boring walk. I tried to skate flatground at times and really struggled to kickflip and it made me so mad. Arrived at the transport museum skatepark to a couple rollerblading parents with kids doing non-stop loops on bikes. So I kind of stuck to the manny pad / 2 step thing. The biker kids doing laps were non-stop for real though, and had no awareness to look ahead. I had travel legs for sure and didn’t do much. After a while I had Ollie grab my phone and film some tricks, most of which all came in one sequence. Was happy to do some crooks and got one up onto the pad. Had some nollie tails off the pad. Would like to have skated the bank to curb spine more, but them kids would not leave it alone. Either way, it was fun to see this spot and skate.
