skate journal: fun impromptu longmont park session with fullertron (march 8, 2013)

Posted in Skate Journal on March 9th, 2013 by corpo

Finally done with a week of the early shift and was gonna celebrate with a quick solo flatground session then head to fort collins to sell boards. Instead I got a call from Dave halfway to Longmont and we met up at the little, but fun park in Longmont. It was chilly out, but not raining or snowing yet as forecasted. It ended up being a blast, my arthritis was not as bad as two days ago (still pretty bad though). Dave was working on nollies over the hip when I got there. He got a few pretty good ones. Probably because he was on a nice new Null board. Ha. I warmed up with some tailslides over the hip and some kickflips on banks. We didn’t really work on anything for too long, but were having fun skating that dorky little park. I couldn’t get a good kickflip over the hip, but I managed a tiny one after ollieing up the tall ledge to get me hyped. Dave got a back 360 or two over the hip. Dave got some front noseslides on the far bump to ledge, front 5-0s on the little bump to ledge with the drop on the other side that makes it scary, a sick hippy jump over the corner rail, almost a 270 back tail over the hip. I couldn’t get ollie onto the tall ledge, couldn’t get front shove off the drop, got a f/s halfcab over a mini hip (in the corner), the f/s cab (more like a 180 but it’s fakie to fakie) and a f/s halfcab flip too. As we left I got a little f/s flip over it. Fun session.
