Got crailslides a couple days ago, now doing repetition to get them better today. It's been a dream trick for a while, and it turns out it's fairly easy to do if you can tailslide + are comfortable bending down to grab the nose. Tip for those trying to learn crailslides: if you can do both then try to do a kickturn on coping and grabbing the board crail. I tried this out and the tail slide part of the trick came pretty naturally from that motion in my experience.
A skate dad (didn't do much but push around) also freaked out at me. Dude's kid intentionally dropped his board into the bowl while it was in use, and I got it for him and politely told him "hey watch where you drop your board." His dad saw this entire thing happen, says "Thanks man, he's gotta learn his manners" but like two minutes later he comes back from talking to his kid and is all confrontational.
"What'd you say to my kid?"
Oh, I just told him to-
"You tell him to watch where he drops his board?"
Yeah basically.
"Well you don't have to so fucking rude about it."
The bowl was in use, and I'm not trying to be rude about.
"Well I think you're being a fucking asshole about it. It was an accident. You think you own this fucking park?"
Whatever man, I'm not trying to start anything.
Then he spent like 5 minutes glaring at me at the park entrance with his kid before leaving. Pretty sure he was waiting for me by the entrance/parking lot, but I had no plans to leave so soon.
Definitely was surreal because usually when I have to tell a kid to not do something because it's putting them and/or other people at physical risk, their parents don't go looking for a fight (in my experience, kids won't stop doing the thing that's putting them/people at risk unless someone tells them).
