skate journal: me the poser (Aug 21, 2009)

Met Riley and the Sioux Falls crew at my house then headed to Rock Creek to meet John.  I had my hand wrapped up real tight again and basically just posed on the ramp while everyone else skated.  I did a few back 50s, but that was basically it.  Then John, Brandon and I dorked out trying flips into front noseslides and just only committing with the front foot.  Brandon got a couple big flips and then tried the real deal an may have actually done it.  John kills the one foot combos.  I got a kickflip front nose on footer.  Fun.  I should try real ones once I can skate with the option of falling down.  I went to film Riley do a ramp montage, but their friend “Dad” ended up rolling or even breaking his ankle.  Shitty.We hit a few Boulder spots for a bit after this.  No one really skated.  Next we went to Parker skatepark.  Jeff, Brian Bourquin, Bernie and Mikey met up with us.  Talk about torture.  That park rules and I couldn’t even really skate.  I did some front 50s for awhile.  Did one to front board and popped out.  But my hand really started to hurt so I basically just sat and posed out for a few hours.  I did manage to film Riley and Mikey huck themselves for awhile.  That was fun.  Look for a montage on the null site soon.
