skate journal: fun little dog park after work (sept 24, 2026)

Posted in Skate Journal on September 25th, 2026 by corpo

Went to dog park after work on an incredibly nice cool grey afternoon. Will was there, but on a work call. Nick was there. I felt okay on my skateboard. I cruised around mostly avoiding pop for a while. Would do some front 50s on the curb, crooks on things, noseslides, sw front noses. Got one questionable sw crook. Nick had some good crooks and fakie nosegrinds. Will and I messed around with sw bs flips. He of course landed one, I was nowhere near landing one. Near the end I did get some groin pain on a little boardslide so I stopped skating, but overall I felt okay.

skate journal: blue skies delivers the depression again (sept 23, 2026)

Short lunch break to Blue Skies. After my previous session my groin hurt pretty bad. I blame the Foy cups. Tried to skate in Splays, but they lack any structure and I just can’t do it. Went to the Vans wafflecups and they felt better. I skated horribly. Extra horribly. Felt like a total beginner skating so slow, so cautious. Took like 15 tries to get a kickflip. At no point did anything good until the very end with a second try fakie bigflip and I was somewhat happy briefly so I left.
