skate journal: curbs/flatground boulder SKATE (May 4, 2014)
Posted in Skate Journal on May 5th, 2014 by corpoFeeling slightly better in the warmer weather I set off for the Boulder Skatepark for the game of SKATE Meta/YMCA was having. No one was really there yet when I got there so I skated the curb solo for awhile. It was fun. Just did some basics and avoided flip tricks. Then after awhile John and Dean showed and joined. I still didn’t land much. Almost a kick back tail and almost a back 50 on the low curb to crooks on the 2nd curb. John had some nice 360s to tail. Then the game of SKATE started. I had hardly even skated flat at all. Doh. I think since I was the oldest person to enter I got matched up with a guy that couldn’t do much more then kickflip. He was super nice and it was fun, but yeah, I got to the 2nd round where I got more nervous because people were watching and bailed 2 varial flips giving the dude I was playing every chance to do 3 shove variations and pressure/casper flips. I got pink slipped and bounced immediately to get Ollie to his football game.
