skate journal: more bank spot and manny pads (Oct 7, 2009)

irieAnother hectic day at work after waking up way too early with a headache that wasn’t induced by beer.  Ugh.  Got off work around 4:30 and met Jason and Nate at the bank spot.  We had fun for awhile, but the spot definitely started to wear on me.  I got a lot of crooks pop offs and standard boring slasher 5-0 things over the hole.  Grinded the lower part once.  Jason had a super good back 5-0.  Nate did a back 180 over the hole.  Sick!Oh yeah, I had acquired these I-Paths over the weekend (thanks John) and decided that anything has to be better then those Adio shoes.  I was right.  I had some energy and actually skating for the first time in awhile.  We left after awhile and went to the new manny pad spot behind Colorado Sports.  Nate killed it with nose manny nose grind.  Jason and I tried manualing 3 pads in a row.  I got manny, nose manny then manny scrape.  How the hell did Jack manny all 4 without touching down in between?Anyways I didn’t skate with my orthotics in again and my legs are dead.  I don’t know how people do it.  Not having the in doesn’t seem to save my achilles anyways so next session, their back in.  Yippee.

skate journal: brief bank spot session (Oct 6, 2009)

Posted in Skate Journal on October 8th, 2009 by corpo

After a rough day at work I had about 40 minutes of free time and decided to spend it embarrassing myself on a skateboard.  I went to the new bank spot that’s new to me and met Nate there.  I was sucking as much as usual for late.  Ugh.  I absolutely hate my new Adio shoes.  They have the weirded shape.  My heel was acting up and could not push or ollie comfortably.  I managed one fakie pivot fakie (not over the hole) and a few back smith scrapes over the hole.  Those are fun.  Nate is recovering from a heel bruise he obtained playing soccer, but still did lots of cool stuff like hurricane on the ledge and long back smiths over the hole.  Toward the end I tried to kickflip over the hole and almost died.  I got even more bummed and left to try and get home in time for India to make it to ballet class on time.  She was late.  My fault.  Sweet.
