skate journal: brief blue skies session (nov 26, 2014)

Went to work thinking it was going to be super dead at work so I could get out and skate for awhile at Blue Skies. Of course it was way busier then I imagined. I still managed to skip out, but it was just for a short one. I self filmed a noseslide for Neil that I was gonna gram, but I just couldn’t do it. But I guess somehow I’m alright with posting screen shots of it here? Makes no sense eh? Anyways I managed two new things at the park. It had a lot of ice/puddles/snow so not everything was skateable. Started with a warm up run of ollie the flat bar, no comply 180, switch noseslide, then turn around and switch front noseslide. Both John Brandow’d. Then I found a new way way to skate the dumb big contraption. I rolled off the tallest ledge onto the lower ledge then off it to start some lines. Pretty fun way to start a line actually. Did that, then front 50 front 180 out, pump the bank then crooks. The other new thing was to front 5-0 down an escalator ledge. It was just the very end of it, but it’s a start. This park technically sucks so bad, but I can’t describe how much I love it compared to being at work.
