skate journal: Denver with Nullers (Feb 27, 2011)

Posted in Skate Journal on March 1st, 2011 by corpo

Kinda tired from the night before Bernie and Carleigh arrived and we left for Denver and picked up Derek on the way. After that we met Mikey and Jeff at the dreaded ice rink of a park called Denver park. It was a bit chilly outside, but not too cold for skating. I started pushing around and pumping. It was actually kinda fun even. I didn’t do anything good, but I had fun warming up and my legs didn’t feel like steel when I was done.Next up we went to a crazy ledge against a wall that Jeff wanted to do a manual trick on.  I ollied on and rode off which was scary enough for me.  Jeff and Bernie put dowm some mean tricks although it turns out Bernie’s is an ABD.  Oh well.  We moved on and were at the curb in/out grated metal manny pad spot.  The nullers did some neat stuff before we got booted.We looked at some other spots and skated around for awhile before ending up at a mellow bank to ledge where I finally skated a bit better.  I did a noseslide then got into some crooks and landed a couple short ones.  I also came from the other way and ollied the little cinder block barrier pretty easily to start off  a run.  This took me awhile to ollie last time I was there and as little as it is, it still hyped me up.  Anyways, I got that with a front nose 270 out once.  I also got it with a front board pop out (horrible) followed by a slow ollie a sidewalk gap to axle stall on a curb.  Neat.  That was the end of the day.  I wish we would have skated more, but whatevs.  Thanks for the photos Carleigh.
