skate journal: Omaha park with Joe and Drew and others (June 30, 2012)

Still dealing with the side pain quite a bit and it caused my neck and upper back to go to shit as well. Ugh. On top of that a 9 hour drive to Omaha and I was dropped off at the park to meet up with Joe. We skated the mini snakerun section. I was sucking. I tried a hurricane and that set my side off. Ugh. I posed around the rest of the night, but that was about it. Came close to an axle stall in the 7 foot section. Joe killed the ledge. Fakie hurricane, hurricane, back 50 boneless out, so many tricks. He was ripping. Drew showed up and killed the park bigtime. Crooks transfers on the tall flatbar, back 360s over the hip and atf ripping. Cory Foster and Trey were there too. Not sure Trey landed any tricks, but Cory did some insane stuff. It was funny seeing them do some “Muska flips”. And we were out.

Met up with Bernie and the Commission dudes at the Winona ditch for a skate jam. I just watched of course and filmed with Bernie’s camera. The casper flip that went down was pretty sick. Some other good stuff went down. Click on the photo of Carleigh for Jack’s photo blog of the day. Next spot was a long ledge. My side had started hurting and I thought I could loosen it up with a little skating. Nope. It got really bad. So bad I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get in a car. Luckily it takes people forever to land manual tricks and it loosened up enough could at least get in a car. Jack got a sick manual. Chad and Derek almost did.
