skate journal: louisville park with kids, then phone guy (sept 13, 2016 day 257)

Posted in Skate Journal on September 14th, 2016 by corpo

Went to Louisville park around 7:30 after a busy day at work. It was cool out. I arrived to a bunch of younger skaters who just aren’t that into skating. They suck. At least they were on skateboards, but they just mostly dork around with each other and not even really skate. And when they do they don’t care about snaking you. I started off in a good mood, but was skating absolutely terrible. I didn’t let it get to me and would eventually start skating alright. The kids left and one somewhat older dude showed up to mostly just stare at his phone. It was weird. I did a back heel on the bank. It might be my first one ever, as bad as it looks it felt fun. I got into some front crooks, but never landed any on the ledge. No back 50s on the main ledge, but several on the little one. Rolled into the snake run for the first time in awhile. Couldn’t get 360 flip to fakie on the bank. I left sweating, happy I skated.
