skate journal: Viking liquor area solo (Aug 30, 2010)

Was gonna go for a quick Valmont session, but Foothills Pkwy was closed so I just pulled in near Viking liquor, parked and tried to find something to skate.  It was creepy as hell since there was no one around and these bunnies kept running in front of me.  After some pushing / walking around I found an area with a dim manual pad and little gap.  After landing the manny pad I went up to the gap which was a parking lot to parking lot gap over a curb.  It normally would be even easy for me, but the light sucked and after shooting my brand new setup into water I finally landed the biggest part of it.  I wasn’t happy it took 10 tries, but oh well.  I moved on and ended up at Viking for a few rounds at the dropped down driveway.  I ollied over the curb then up the curb and came back and dropped down then 180’d over.  Last part of the night was spent doing some flatground in a poorly lit rough parking lot.  Still fun though.  I’d highly recommend not skating this area at night as there really isn’t much to skate and half of it is too dark at night.
