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