skate journal: rock creek/lville blah (Sept 16, 2009)

Met up with basically everyone over 30 years old in the Boulder area at Rock Creek shortly before dark.  For some reason I decided to try skating without my orthotic insoles in my shoes.  It felt kinda good, but I think it really just made me feel less confident then normal and combine that with one of the busiest work weeks I’ve had it was a recipe for blah.  I didn’t really skate the ramp at all because there were too many people skating it.  I played a game of SKATE with Darin and John and lost out to Darin like I always do.  I started off good, but could not land a trick near the end to save my life.  I messed around a bit more, but left for Lville after it got dark.  Jason was gonna skate with me, but he left right away.  I cruised around trying to skate well, but could not.  I couldn’t do crooked grinds and I couldn’t do front 50s.  I did have fun cruising around though and sometimes just rolling around and not being busy at work is fun enough.  I don’t have to land switch tre fakie nosegrinds shoves everyday.
