skate journal: Mostly Filmer Glen and a Cab Flip! (Feb 2, 2013)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 3rd, 2013 by corpo

Up pretty early on a nice saturday. Played basketball with Ollie then hit 303 and met TF at Arvada park. The plan was for Brian to do 40ish birthday front rocks there then go to Lafayette. Jake, Lazer, Neil, Brian, Brett, Carleigh, Jack, big crew. But we were way out numbered by little kids on scooters and bikes. It was a joke. I played warm up for a bit as Brian was running late. Everyone seemed to be skating pretty good. Brett did a blunt shove to rock fakie on the little bank which surprised me. Jake got a noseblunt on it. I got a kickflip up the blue pod, kickflip off. Then I filmed for a long, long time. Brian rattled off most of them pretty quick, but the desired ender teased him for a long time before he had to finally call it quits. We ended up delaying Lafayette for later and I skated for awhile. Getting warmed up after a few hours of standing was tough. My side/back was wrecked. Riley’s homie Cale from Sioux Falls randomly showed up and we skated the small bowl. He destroyed it. Long 50s on the pool coping section and an insane switch front disaster. I did some grinds on the small steel coping section and one stupid front disaster. Then Carleigh, Jack and I started playing a game of SKATE on the blue pod bank that turned into us all just trying whatever we wanted. I was 2-3 on halfcab flips and started posing cab flips having wanted to do that trick for years and years. Some of them felt doable then out of nowhere it just happened. Lots of pivot, but no tic tac. Man I was so hyped it was crazy. Jack even laughed at my happy giggle. Then it was dinner with the entire crew.
