skate journal: boulder park meh pain in the morning (aug 26, 2026)

Posted in Skate Journal on August 28th, 2026 by corpo

Stopped by Boulder park on the way into work. It was nice, but warming quickly. Skated about 30 minutes. Started on my 8.25/14/venture and hated it. Changed to my 8.5/14.25/venture and hated it slightly less. Couldn’t ollie much without pain in the hip flexor/groin. Only fun thing was really long back 50s on the qp. For a bit I tried a line of front 50 the qp then kickflip nose stall the hump to ledge. Didn’t get too close. Left sooner than I needed to because of pain.

(pain level 7/10)

Nice night. Went out after dinner with low expectations and wanted to skate something different. I chose to skate my 8.25/14/venture hollows setup for some reason. It was okay. I started at some tiny flat gap. Did some ollies and 180s. Couldn’t commit to a b/s flip or kickflip or front shove.

Skated around. Ended up at the loading dock I almost lost my mind at last time. I did slow kickflip and halfcab flip into it. Then a good feeling shove it on my way out.

Ended up at the curb cut thing and did some 180 crooks and shove. Also hucked nollie flips that were close. Okay night.

(setup 4/10 8.25/14 sample, null grip, venture 5.6 v-hollow, 52mm spitfire 99a tablets, new balance numeric 306cup grey size 12 with half insole. I had gamechanger lights in for a while, but took them out to reduce hip/goin pain)
