skate journal: short dog park morning (sept 16, 2026)

Posted in Skate Journal on September 17th, 2026 by corpo

Stopped at dog park on the way in for another short / no ollie session. Chris was there ripping the c ledge. I did some slappies, low boardslides, no pop shoves. Switch tricks didn’t hurt somehow. I did a couple of sw crook jibs on the lurb. Hucked a few sw bs flips which also didn’t hurt and a couple were even kind of close. I did one fakie 50 on the curb and even just that hurt the groin. Doh. I cannot skate frontside anymore. Had some sw fs noseslides that were fun. Felt good being out in the sun again.

skate journal: short boulder park not ollieing (sept 15, 2026)

Very quick stop on the way into work. Wanted to skate a little because I was losing my mind after 5 days no skating. So I went with the intention of a very short roll in which I didn’t ollie. It was still fun. There was a guy learning axle stalls on the good new qp so I couldn’t really skate that. Skated the little tiny qp area and did my usual little line. There was a guy there in Xero’s too. Anyway, didn’t do much but it felt great to be on a board.
