skate journal: more bank spot and manny pads (Oct 7, 2009)

irieAnother hectic day at work after waking up way too early with a headache that wasn’t induced by beer.  Ugh.  Got off work around 4:30 and met Jason and Nate at the bank spot.  We had fun for awhile, but the spot definitely started to wear on me.  I got a lot of crooks pop offs and standard boring slasher 5-0 things over the hole.  Grinded the lower part once.  Jason had a super good back 5-0.  Nate did a back 180 over the hole.  Sick!Oh yeah, I had acquired these I-Paths over the weekend (thanks John) and decided that anything has to be better then those Adio shoes.  I was right.  I had some energy and actually skating for the first time in awhile.  We left after awhile and went to the new manny pad spot behind Colorado Sports.  Nate killed it with nose manny nose grind.  Jason and I tried manualing 3 pads in a row.  I got manny, nose manny then manny scrape.  How the hell did Jack manny all 4 without touching down in between?Anyways I didn’t skate with my orthotics in again and my legs are dead.  I don’t know how people do it.  Not having the in doesn’t seem to save my achilles anyways so next session, their back in.  Yippee.
