skate journal: wells fargo downtown banks with dave (nov 12, 2026)

Posted in setup change, Skate Journal on November 13th, 2026 by corpo

Both Dave and I were slacking and not very motivated, but we still ended up at the little wells fargo quarterpipes around 8:30. It’s a great warm up spot and also great spot to stay at. I had put Royals on. They felt good. Dave did some axle stalls to fakie to get warmed up. Then some long back 50s, tail stalls, front 5-0s, so many good tricks. I took a bit to get front 50s on the downhill section, but man they are fun. Tried to line them out with alley oop 50s. One of them might have grinded a tiny bit. Had a blunt to axle to fakie, couple back 50s to fakie. The fakie front 50 didn’t come easy, but felt cool. I filmed Dave get an amazing line with crooks and kickflip. Saving it for Stubborns 2. Dave had to go so I went to the Canyon ledge which truly is a great ledge. I was beat though. Did some noseslides, crooks, sw front nose. Went for fakie tricks and decided I was too tired so I left. Glad we got out.

skate journal: solo night dog park okay (nov 11, 2026)

Went to dog park around 8 and it was empty. It stayed empty the whole time except cars parking and sitting with their lights on. I almost assume it was people waiting to tag it up? Hope not, it might get ruined. Anyway, I had Indys this session. Way better than thunders, but still leave a lot to be desired. I skated hard enough. Had some 50s on the lurb. Tried a line of front 50 the curb, front nose the bench, wallie the metal arch, ollie a flat bar. Never got the ollie over the flat bar. Hucked some flippers, but the shadows were bugging me. I did more, but nothing really to write about. Glad I skated.

skate journal: depression session at broomfield (nov 10, 2026)

Went to Broomfield park in the evening. Was feeling pretty hesitant and old. Arrived to some 20 somethings totally ripping. Jameson, Justin, Will would show. As well as some more young rippers. I had put Thunders on for some god awful reason. I hated every minute of them and skated terrible. Jameson ripped. The youth playing Blink 182 and bad rap ripped. Justin was ripping hard right away. Only thing I did that was remotely mediocre was a line of boardslide the down ledge, rock fakie quartapotty, fake 50 blue lurb. Remind me to burn my Thunders.
