skate journal: A few minutes with Ollie before SF!!! then SF (March 4, 2010)

After four days of being stuck in a class and not doing my normal stretching routines at work I got out early hyped to be leaving for SF shortly.  It was gorgeous outside and Ollie was skating with his friend Cooper in the driveway.  I set my board down to push and this weird pain shot through my left hip/groin.  Ugh.  Great way to start a trip.  I kept skating a bit though.  Kickflips felt ok.  I ended up skating the ledge with them which is right by the house so I have to skate super slow (nothing new there eh?).  Ollie was doing slappy front 5-0s.  I was trying kick front boards and got one.  It was horrible, but landed.  First one ever.  Sweet.After a bus ride, plane ride and then a train ride I skated with Nate, Neil and Lazer from the BART station to Cruz Skateshop where we were staying.  We sessioned the curb for a minute, but nothing too serious went down.  Hyped to be in the greatest skate city.
