Dave and hopefully Rob (who ended up being too busy with work) would join.  I arrived first.  It was sunny and hot.  I had given up on the NB# 420s.  Those things are terrible for skateboarding.  I was wearing some old bald Es Swift 1.5s.  They are super comfy, but also kind of weird for skating.  They just have a weird flick.  I went through the warm up stages, doing the 3 trick line thing to motivate.  Took a few tries to get the kickflip, no comply 180, fakie flip line.  After that I had kickflips most tries, but not a whole lot else.  Dave showed.  It&#8217;s been awhile so it was great seeing him.  He went in on the shoves warm up.  We skated for about an hour.  I struggled with halfcab flips and heelflips.  Two of my more basics.  I was patient though as I know I just moved up to a bigger sized board so I should expect some growing pains.  I had fun hucking some ghetto birds, even committed, but never got the feet on the board.  In the end I got a terrible heelflip followed by an even worse treflip.  Dave got kickflips, cabs, a halfcab flip, varial flips (one was so good) and ended with a backside bigspin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4608.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4608-640x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"460\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4608-640x460.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4608-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4608-1024x735.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_4608.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then we went to Saul&#8217;s.  It was Dave, Saul, Veronica, Tyler and Eric showed a little later.  Tyler was completely shredding.  Saul did a back lipslide!  I have no idea what Dave was doing in this photo, I just kind of pointed the phone at him and snapped a shot.  I didn&#8217;t do much, but still love carve grinds.  I tried a few switch feebles since Dave challenged me to it, but couldn&#8217;t really get the speed.  At least it was an excuse to finally do a rock fakie in the &#8216;deep&#8217; end.  Eric had a bad slam recently I guess, so was a little timid, but still had feeble fakie in the deeper end first try.<\/p>\n<p>(setup null rabethica 8.5 deck, venture 5.8 black icon trucks, venom 88a bushings bones v1 stf 51mm wheels, es swift 1.5 grey size 11.5, low profile footprint gamechanger insoles)<br \/>\n(knee pain 3\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After one of the busiest work weeks I&#8217;ve ever had and feeling completely tired on a Friday afternoon I went to dog park.
