skate journal: sunday dog park (nov 8, 2026)

Had some time in the morning back in Boulder to skate. Went to dog park and Jack, Jesse and Eric were skating. I felt pretty odd out of the gates, my shoe had a hole in it which didn’t help because I couldn’t really do kickflips. There was yet another new flat bar, but it was tiny so it’s kinda fun. I skated pretty mid and mostly did dork tricks. Tried some heelflip variations because of my shoes, but didn’t land any. Was over the Aces and the heft required to maneuver them. My attempt at switch front board makes me laugh seeing it in Jack’s video and my back wheels never even left the ground. Jack ripped. The crooks tail grab is funny, but awesome. He’s always learning. Eric with the speedy lipslide, manuals, heelflip or two. Jesse always popping high and laughing. Glad to get in a little session and see the dudes.
