skate journal: fun at frederick park after work with dave (sept 1, 2026)
After work I took some short cuts through dirt roads and ended up at a mostly empty Frederick skatepark. I had a bit of time to warm up before Dave arrived. Warm up went alright it seemed. There was a young guy in pads and a helmet and I had just assumed he was an old guy until I got close. He was quite talkative and was trying to get me to do treflips with him. Dave showed. We kinda did our thing warming up then were mostly at the manny pad area for a while. He was going for fakie back nosegrind. I was lining out ollies up the pad and kickflip off. Dave said we should film it and I got one in a few tries after a sw nose shove. And the line made me happy! Dave went on to get a few fakie back nosegrinds and lined them out. Dave was learning haflcab bliuntslides on the hip while I was hucking trreflips FOREVER. Finally got a very questionable one. Filmed Dave line out the halfcab bliunt shove which was incredibly amazing. As was the shove to fakie on the bank. We did more than this, it was a fun session.
