skate journal: Council Bluffs park then downtown Nullmoha (sept 19)

ballinYou know it’s on when you see a car like this on the way to the park.  The rear window was cut at an angle to fit and the right rear light looks like it was taken from a contruction site.  So funny and so Council Bluffs.  Matt and I saw this car a couple blocks before the park.  I was pretty sore from side spasms, sore neck and golfing with Liz’s dad that morning.  I haven’t golfed in 18 years and managed to not get any better in years of night trying.  That’s about what I would expect.  We met up with Drew and started cruising around the park.  Before long Joe and Dan from the Fremont crew showed up too and the session was in full swing.  Joe killed the ledge.  Matt can kickflip into 50 but can’t land them on flat.  Drew was killing everything.  Dan was almost doing manuals to front board everytime, but somehow not doing them.  I was there landing a few basic tricks here and there.  Toward the end Joe, Dan and I played a game of SKATE.  I was losing pretty bad and blaming it on my sore everything when out of nowhere I put down a nollie treflip followed by a treflip to out everyone.  Word!  The session was really fun and that park is awesome.After some crappy food at McDonalds we headed to downtown Omaha.  By then my side was acting up too much and no amount of Tylenol would help.  I really wanted to skate, but basically just watched everyone.  The funnest thing was bombing a hill.  Drew was killing it though and he’s got a great attitude toward skating.  Rad.  Good session even though I didn’t skate that well.
