skate journal: Creekside and Rampy with Ollie (March 22)

Posted in Skate Journal on March 23rd, 2009 by corpo

My foot is feeling MUCH better, but I’m trying to stay away from real street skating for another week or so. It’s still sensitive and I feel like if I go another week without bumping it I will be better off in the long run. I definitely didn’t have this much patience when I was younger. Anyways, speaking of younger, Ollie aka “H.D.” and I went over to Creekside before dinner and skated for about 30 minutes. We skated the curb and stairs the whole time. There is too much sand in the main area which blows. Can’t wait til they clean it up. Anyways the curb is mainly a stall curb and I just kinda played around on it. I finally got one of those crook to back 5-0 that seem to be all the rage these days. That trick is pretty lame though, it just feels like you don’t know how to pop out of crooks. I did manage to get a front feeble to grind though. Felt pretty fun. Ollie was trying to grind/slide/something the low bar on the 4 stair handrail. In his mind I’m sure he thought he was grinding it, but basically he was jibbing it with his nose and sometimes almost doing frontside noseslides. He would land halfway down the stairs and ride out of it. Basically it was beyond radical. I finally slappy noseslid down the ledge that’s underneath the rail. Funny. Fun session and I didn’t hurt my foot. Later on we skated Rampy for a bit and it was a pretty uninspired session. Oh well.
