skate journal: little longmont park with ollie, jake and dave (sept 21, 2014)

On a beautiful Sunday morning Jake, Ollie and I went to this park. We were cruising around warming up. Things were fun, then the park got infested with parents and kids with toys for awhile. So we went and skated flat in the basketball court. After a bit Jake and I played a game of SKATE. Technically I won it on a b/s flip, but Jake refused that trick since he’s never done it and went after treflips for a long time. It sucked, we landed on so many, but either put hands down, toe drag or fell off. Jake would eventually get one. Then we went back to the park. Jake kinda went off. Had a sick line of f/s halfcab off the drop, ollie over the rail (far back right of photo) then bluntslide the ledge. Another line of front 50 down the mini hubba in the back right, ollie up the platform, front 180 into the bank then f/s cab the hip. Wow! Ollie was mostly bored, but did get a few tricks like front 180 over the hip, cannonball over the hip, fakie shove fly out, halfcabs everywhere, f/s 180s. Good to see him skate again. I didn’t skate very well. Had some boardslides around the C ledge, had a line with boardslide the bump to ledge, then noseslide down the C hubba, and took awhile to front 50 the ledge to drop. I had tried to ollie over the rail Jake was, but couldn’t quite get it. Had a fun line with no comply tailslide nose grab followed by kickflip to fakie. Dave joined us after awhile and skated well. There was some cruntslide or something that Jake and I thought was pretty incredible. Good ollies, beanplant front 180 the hip, so many rad tricks.
