skate journal: downtown wells fargo qp (sept 17, 2026)
Still dealing with groin strain, but needing to go skate on a nice night I went to WF qp. I skated about an hour and never ollied. Tricks didn’t come that easy. And it was weird one homeless dude was nice and left when I got there, but then he came back. He was encouraging, but I felt bad disrupting his sleep. Anyway, everything took several tries. Well, not the 50s. I had done some 50 reverts and some 5-0s and thought I should actually do a 5-0 to fakie. I still did the cheater version, but it made me happy. The frontside version took a while again, but I couldn’t get it with a grind. Felt good to skate and I don’t think I caused any damage.

(pain level 5/10 didn’t do anything to risk the groin, but was kinda crazy how much pain I was in just skating this little qp)
