skate journal: Longmont spots (Aug 29, 2009)

Jake, Carleigh and I met up with Neil and Brian in L-town. Jake, Carleigh and I played some SKATE while we waited for Neil and Brian to stop playing motorcycle dudes. Then we jumped in the Icebox and drove the two blocks to the industrial area. We parked somewhere new and it was looking pretty bleak. But pretty much as soon as we thought the area sucked Brian had a line mapped out that I filmed. Carleigh tore it up and ollied a long 3 then pop shoved it too. Sick! Everyone wanted to leave when Brian got his line, but I got all ouchy and cranky and wanted to skate the spot myself for a bit. I blame my crankiness on the first hangover I’ve had in months. But we skated longer and I actually got a line with a fakie bigspin up a curb followed by a boardslide to manual. Yippee. Next we skated the OG junk spot. Brian tried to get his trick for awhile while Carleigh, Jake and I did flyouts over a cone. Later on I tried to get a 360 flip out of the bump. I took awhile, but I finally got one. It’s been a couple years since I’ve tried 3 flips out of a bump. Cool. Fun day.
