skate journal: Mellow solo Valmont session (May 10, 2010)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 11th, 2010 by corpo

Feeling pretty good, but not knowing what would really happen with my groin pull so I didn’t feel like calling anyone in case I had to bail right away. It ended up working out fine. I haven’t done an evening skate session in a long time and it felt weird. I drove by Steel Yards, but there was too many cars. Then I went to Valmont. I warmed up oh so slowly and skated slow and cautious, but started to push myself a bit again and it felt good. I started out doing manuals and tricks up/down the curbs. I felt so rusty. I eventually went over to the ledge. I mostly did halfcab noseslides over and over until I landed most of them. I also tried a few slow front crooks which I never landed. I did a few flippers too. Heelflip, 360 flip, halfcab flips, fakie flips. I tried a run for awhile of halfcab noseslide then b/s flip and got that. Then I tried adding a blunt to pivot to shove out on the curb but never got that one. At the end I did a couple ollies off the low part of the ledge and called it a night.

Blame it on the groin. I took last Friday May 7th off hoping my body would be in better shape for Cheyenne. It wasn’t.
