skate journal: sucking at the Longmont park (Jan 19)
Posted in Skate Journal on January 20th, 2009 by corpoNeil, Brian, Jason and I met Bernie at the Longmont park and some Boulder heads were there too. I started off sucking and just kept right on sucking. My legs were tired and ollieing onto the little ledge seemed hard. Brian landed the first 360 flip I’ve ever seen him land. Jason, Brian and Neil were skating the flat bar and having fun. I was getting more and more bummed by the minute. I even pushed my board into a ledge at one point and chipped it a bit. Ugh. After awhile I calmed down and just skated the mellow flat bank by myself for a bit. I had some troubles getting the big board to do a f/s flip, but eventually landed one. At the end Jason, Bernie and I skated the ledge for awhile and I finally had fun. I got a run with a back 50, front 50 back 180 out, fakie flip, fakie bigspin and then another run with a back 5-0 then a front 5-0 shove. The second run was first try. Rad. At least I left the park on a good note.
