This morning at a park. I watched three guys all about the same age skate together, all couldn’t have clinged to a different era of skating any harder if they tried

The first dude showed up all pads on a sword and skull reissue, then his buddy showed up on some Chris miller board, the last guy showed up on this twig of a board couldn’t have been more then 7.5 and atop it were the chunkiest Globes I’ve seen since the ct-iv

But they all were having a good time and even moved their stuff so I could skate the ledge.

First enjoyable interaction with someone at a park in a long time
hahaha, that's a great story

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

found myself at a doublesided curb and was doing back lips. i sang to myself '2 sided curb, 2 sided curb, i been back lipping at the kremlin w/ a 2 sided curb'.
saw a motorcycle cop so i skated away [city hall is his beat].
was at courthouse yesterday and couldn't back 5-0 for beans so i forced myself to do a bunch. there were younger kids there the other day and they fucked up my vibe. by myself i can concentrate a little better.
couldn't force myself to back lip the ledge, board went to smith and didn't grind or fell away but the 5-0s were good.
on the way home i seen a kid carrying a board i goes 'let's ollie the 5' and we bombed down and hopped a 5 into traffic. shit was ok.

me and my little buddy from el salvador skated a ledge we'd made. then the angle iron fell off but we fixed it. shit was a lot of fun and i hadn't seen the kid since he helped me w/ bees in late spring. he got sent to peabody cause he was fucking up out here. he's a good kid, i wanna get him married when he turns 18 so he's not at risk of deportation.
basic trick and bombing a hill, i made the most unique DIY spots. i can't control, what can i say? it's like a gift.

Bringing this back because I went from a shit time on board this morning to a good session earlier this evening

I had to dip past my work this morning to drop something off, being around that area there’s a little ass park built into a playground, two quarters and a bump in the centre, within 10 minutes of getting there I realised how little there was to do there, so I bailed.

Not feeling like I got enough skating in on my day off I decided to hit up this parking space once most of the cars had left because the gates stay open for a good while after 5.

It really turned the day around skating alone in this kinda sketchy car park just skating the few ledges there that grind.

Working on firecracker down the curb in front of our shop, to manual back around in a half circle to no-comply straight up the curb.
