skate journal: Aurora and Louisville Parks (Aug 5, 2009)

Had to run some boards down to Continuum in Parker, CO so I hit the Aurora park for a bit before having to stop at 303 next.  The park is awesome, but always has a weird crowd.  I was feeling the effects of working all day then driving for well over an hour.  I took forever to land a boardslide across the flat bar.  I eventually settled in on trying a run.  Boardslide across the flatbar, no comply finger flip on flat, manual between the bowl/street course into the bank then no comply 270 over the hip.  Never got it.  Tried some other stuff, but overall it was a pretty lame session.After 303 I went to meet up with Chad and Chris at Commerce City park, but when I went by there the lights weren’t on and there was 500 families there picnicking.  No thanks.Met Jason at Louisville on the way back and raced the rain and lightning for awhile before we got rained out.  It was a really fun session with crazy lightning going on in the background.  I got some crooks pretty quickly and came close to backside nosegrinds on the little ledge pretty quickly.  I don’t remember trying much else, but I know I was all over the park having fun.  Damn rain.
