Middle Aged Skateboarding Dad's Trick Challenge | BS 5050 Escalator Grind

A very RARE occasion where dad gets the trick first. Stopped by Lathrop Skatepark on the way home from Oakdale Skatepark. I had been trying for weeks & hundreds of tries to do the escalator grind from the top at our home skatepark without success.
We found that the mini bowl at the Lathrop Skatepark had a shorter and mellower escalator that continues to go straight rather than turn at the bottom. Figured it out after a handful of tries and was able to get it dialed in.
Thanks ‪@JonBishopSkate‬ for the inspiration!

Maybe next time you’re there, I can take a few runs with you. I pass that park on weekdays and sometimes skate on weekends

I was keeping an eye to see if you or others we met through SkateMD might roll through. It was a holiday and also 90F out...
