skate journal: Back in Boulder with Jeff, Bernie and Mikey (June 19, 2010)

Definitely feeling the effects of sitting in a car all day the day before.  Picked up the new Null wheels in the morning and they look good.  Helped clean for awhile then met up with Jeff, Bernie and Mikey at the Boulder park which wasn’t very crowded.  We started with a few games of SKATE.  I was the first one out in the first two, but the third game went well.  I got tricks like 3 flip, frontside halfcab flip, fakie var flip and more.  Jeff got to SKAT, but beat me.  Fun.  We cruised around the park for awhile and I was not skating well at all.  I tried a few backside kickflips on the flat bank and didn’t even get close.  Ugh.  Jeff was destroying.We went to the Sussex ledge after that.  I tried to front 50 it, but didn’t get very close.  Mikey nollie nosegrinded it.  So sick.  Instead of just sitting around I skated other stuff at the spot like the little bump and the curb.  I had a run going of ollie the bump, slappy tailslide the curb to fakie then f/s halfcab flip.  Never got them all.  Never quite got a f/s flip over the bump either, but I got a second try no comply bigspin.  Skated pretty hard for how sore and tired I was.
