Stopped at dog park after work. There was actually clouds! It was still in the lower 90s, but the clouds made it feel great. There was a crew of about 8 teenagers. It was good to see some youth out skating, even if they did film everything they did. I had put Slappy Low Profile trucks on. They were better than the Indys. That’s not saying much though. I had a random warm up line of boardslide the concrete things, ding the jersey barrier, come back and then front shove. Not sure I got the line. Did another line of air out of the tiny qp, crooks the wood ledge (my crooks were feeling so good and I did like 15 in a row) then b/s flip. But I could not get b/s flip to save my life. Strike 1 against the Slappys. Other stuff was kinda whatevs. Tricks I came close to that I would have been very happy with: halfcab heel noseslide, nollie tre, f/s halfcab heel, kickflip 50. I did a couple switch crook jibs on the lurb. I left tired and mostly happy.
