skate journal: filmer glen and monico destroys (July 30, 2011)

Max, Carleigh, Bernie and I met Monico and his brother Matt at Community skate shop on a hot saturday morning to do their weekly game of SKATE. We skated some flat for awhile, but realized the game wouldn’t be for quite a while so we bolted. We went to Arvada High School where Max and Monico got some good lines, I filmed, and Carleigh slammed hard on the big 4. I tried a couple smaller ollies before/after filming, but wasn’t really feeling it as I was in filmer mode and starving. Next we went to Westminster High and met up with the Meta dudes. There was a new long ledge over a gap that was waxed to oblivion, but too hot to grind it as the wax would come right off. It was about 100 degrees. Sean got a sick lipslide, but other then that not much went down. Bernie said he felt sick, but denied it being his black outfit in the 100 degree weather. Max rubbed the melted wax onto the back of his shirt. I failed to get remotely close at boardsliding the ledge. Monico almost boardslid it. Neil bailed an ollie over a flat gap and got mad. Carleigh snapped some photos.

Next we went to Niver Creek where I was mostly Filmer Glen as Monico and Jack killed it. I managed a lame little manual. Bernie almost got a cool kickflip to manual to lipslide all quick, but didn’t get it. Then we left to sell some boards at Crisis and get to Meta so I could buy some new wide trucks and be like every other skater jumping on the big truck bandwagon.
