skate journal: snowy buena vista skatepark (nov 6, 2026)
Brought my mom up to see friends in BV. So after a long and frustrating drive, a huge hamburger and more sight seeing I had some time to kill. Skated almost an hour. The park had snow in spots and puddles/runoff throughout the main area. It was hard to get in a groove. There was another “older” (20 years younger than me yikes I’m old) who was pretty cool other than he seemed to copy whatever I tried. I took a while before I even really did anything. When I was done I had done a few things at least though. Wallie up the ledge. Blunt to back disaster the tiny qp. Kickflip on the mellower bank since the main one had water running down it. Axle stall the tight little steep qp. That might be it. When school got out the bikes appeared. I do not miss this skatepark in any way.
