skate journal: Random weird spots with John and Nate (April 14, 2010)

Met John at the Boulder park and Rick was there too.  It was getting dark so we left soon.  We picked up Nate and headed to a random bikepath spot that John had scoped out.  It wasn’t that great, but we made the most of it.  I can’t really describe what this place was like too easily.  Basically it was a sidewalk that ran sideways along the road then went down to a nearby bikepath.  The top of the sidewalk banked up to the road making for a kicker.  The approach wasn’t easy.  Nate took the quick up over a grass gap route.  John and I took the swerve around the grass approach.  Not a whole lot went down.  We all ollied in from the road then over the grass gap.  Later on I ollied in a little later so the grass gap was slightly larger.  Fun.  John got a steezey back 180 out of the kicker.  Nate got some really good ollies out and looked like he could learn front 360s.  I got a kickflip and front pop shove out of the kicker and tried my best to improve upon my horrible ollies a little bit.  It was fun.Then we drove to find another spot, but stumbled upon an unwaxed ledge spot and just kinda dorked around.  There was this little electric box cover that Nate and John skated pretty well.  John got back lip and back tail.  Nate was ollieing a decent sized flat gap to setup for it and followed with some cool tricks.  At one point I was trying to do a switch manual on an inch high manny pad and something weird happened in my groin and I went down.  It hurt really bad.  At that point I stopped skating with any intensity and felt like I might have to take some time off.  Ugh.  That was basically the end of the session.
