skate journal: brief Boulder park carves with scooter kids (july 19, 2016 day 201)

Posted in Skate Journal on July 19th, 2016 by corpo

Was driving around looking for a quick and easy spot when I honestly drove by the Boulder skatepark and had completely forgotten about it. So I turned around and joined a bunch of annoying scooter kids for some carves, axle stalls, a front disaster and telling some scooter kids to STFU.

Day 200 in a row! Some flat ground with @iamnotacreepyjake and managed to not make my heel bruise worse.

After dinner and some rain Jake and I met out front of my house to skate some flatground. I was very cautious at first as to avoid hitting my heel bruise. As we warmed up I was able to do kickflips pretty normal and most other flippers. I avoided treflips though as I often under rotate them and hit my heel. I got quite a few flippers including the getting-less-rare halfcab heel. Jake had a line with a kickflip, frontside flip and another trick I can’t remember. Then we played a game of SKATE that went pretty long. It was a fun one. I didn’t even get letters on the normal tricks Jake gets me with like switch front shove and fakie 360 shove. I ended up winning on a f/s halfcab flip.
