skate journal: another boulder park morning (may 5, 2016 day 126)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 5th, 2016 by corpo

Went to Boulder park around 8am with an hour to skate. The warm up process went better. First thing was a line. No surprise. Dropin the deep bowl, 5-0 out of the little coping in the entrance, no comply 180 on flat, switch front 180 on flat, front d in the mini. There were a few other people there. And in typical Boulder park fashion none of them would even look you in the eye and say hello. That kind of bummed me out, but whatever, I just kept skating. Front 50’d the bump to ledge by the mini a few times. Noseslid down it, posed some kickflip noseslides. When I would commit the board would go over to boardslide. Did some ollies over the tiny hip, some 180 variations with no pop. Managed 50 front 50 the main ledge first try and then do the downhill part a few tries later. That hyped me up since I couldn’t commit to the downhill for some dumb reason last week. Then I mostly just posed for awhile. Treflip noseslide attempts on the bump to ledge by the entrance. It’s a dream trick. I’ve never gotten remotely close or even really tried it much. There were 2 or 3 that flipped, rotated and my front foot was above it. But of course my back foot was on the ground by then. I don’t care, it felt rad to pose it. Going the other way I got one slow front 50 up part of the ledge which was also fun.
