skate journal: Commerce City park with Nate and Neil (Nov 28)

Feeling fat and lazy from Thanksgiving we went to Commerce City on a crisp evening.  Greg showed up and it was super rad to see him skate again.  He killed it.  I didn’t.  It took me forever to kickflip up the stepup.  Ugh.  I was able to ollie into one of the steeper banks first try though which took me several tries last time I was there.  I had contemplated focusing my board at several points in the session due to sucking so bad and the fact that it’s already pretty cracked.  But I didn’t.  Good.  Right before we left I finally got in a decent zone and had a good run for me: backside flip on a flatbank, powerslide down a little bank, back 50 ledge, back tail stall on a flat bank, then front 50 on the 3 stair ledge.  I wanted to get a front 5-0 shove at the end of the line but I bailed.  I ended up landing that eventually then left after ollieing off of the new drop from the top to the  upper ledge area.  It’s just a drop but I havne’t done anything like that in awhile.  All in all I skated like crap, but I made up for it a bit at the end and was happy to not have focused my deck.  Laters.
