skate journal: 287 ditch for a bit (Aug 4, 2011)

Wasn’t really feeling one of those busy drive around nights, but I ended up needing to bring boards out to Community, then Crisis to meet up with a crew and skate the 287 ditch. Driving took a long time, but it ended up being nice cranking up new music by Poison Control Center and Jeff The Brotherhood. I got to Crisis, dropped off boards, started making some weed jokes and we rolled out. Rob and Joel were there, but Fuzz and I are too cool so we just rolled by and went to the far side of the ditch (ha, it was kinda funny). I was feeling pretty awkward on my board, Fuzz was killing it, Jack could hardly stand. Fuzz had some sick f/s ollies and long lines right out of the gate. I tried some ollies at 1/10 scale of Fuzz’s, got a couple b/s stalls on the curb and a front smith popout on the other side, also some silly dork quick flips to stalls that weren’t on the edge of anything. I had a good slam on an ollie attempt and Fuzz almost got a fakie pivot yank out. Then we went to the parking block area, but it was getting dark. I tried a few front tailslides, but failed. We chilled for a minute then called it a night.
