skate journal: arapahoe industrial area at night sucking (nov 4, 2026)

Getting out to skate around 8. Dog park lights not working. Ended up at the newer building with the roof Jack and Garrett skated. I had changed to Ace trucks. Cruising around didn’t feel good to get warmed up. I had some very lame warm up lines riding on the the mini bank by the stairs, sw 180 off a curb, etc. Messed around trying to manual a sidewalk section, could barely ollie up. may have done it once. Landed no flip tricks, but I tried quite a few. Did some stalls on the first step with a slight bank to it. Front smith back 180 felt cool, back 180 nose pick, bennett stall, sw crook jib. Then I decided to try and ollie up the two from a weird steeper section and never did it. Well I kind of did it with axle stall, but never good. I left feeling pretty blah. Wondering if I’ll ever charge like I used to.
