skate journal: Fun at the Boulder park? Wow! (May 17, 2010)

My back was still spasming pretty bad, but my legs felt good. I wanted to skate. Jake called me and said he was at the Boulder park. What the heck, I figured I could at least carve the bowl. I met Jake, Neil and Jason there. Jake and I carved around the bowl for awhile. Well, I carved and Jake ripped it. He’s got some moves on the coping even. We migrated into the main area where I finally did a grind on the east wall and some long grinds on the little steep q-pipe. Neil was busting some big ollies. Jake was killing everything. He did a body jar on the extension! Near the end we skated the ledge a little bit where Neil put down his front shove back 50, Jake did front 50 to front board and Jason did front 5-0. I boardslid down the backside one. We then played a game of SKATE in the parking lot that I somehow won. It included easily the worst 360 flip of my life. It never left the ground. So funny. Heelflip was the last trick. I actually would like to skate Boulder park again sometime. Rad.
