skate journal: KOTC day 2 (feels like day 3) Louisville, Broomfield area (8/20/2011)
Most of us woke up at Crisis. Sleeping on a concrete floor is great after a long day of skating. It seemed to take forever to get organaized, but we ended up at the Louisville skatepark to start things off. Max, Brian and Neil were killing it. I forget how much Neil rips sometimes. He does the basics so good. Brian makes tricks in the deep end look so easy. After this KOTC I’ve made a promise with myself to skate more tranny. It’s kind of funny because after getting that bigger board i haven’t hardly skated tranny at all. Anyways, I really didn’t skate worth a crap here. The only remotely decent things for me were kickflip to fakie and a b/s flip on the flat bank. I did a bigflip too, but it was really bad. Max ollied Neil’s motorcycle and we finally left. We went way out to the 3 tier ditch where Brian got surfy. After that was the steep banks aka the Neil banks. 5 tricks to fakie. We were struggling to get the last 2 and Jack was wanting to film a boardslide on a dumpster. He finally lost his patience and came over to do two tricks quick like, but luckily I got my trick. back pivot revert. It’s called that because I’m not cool and I don’t do pivot fakies, instead I turn in then revert on the bank. They are lame. jack got my back with a kickflip to fakie. Then we filmed his boardslide, Chad showed up and we made him dropin. We went to Honey’s Hole then ended up at Broomfield Park. I SUCKED at Broomfied park. The only thing I remember doing that as worth a crap was a bad nollie treflip going 2 mph. I thought I did two tricks I was happy about, but that’s all I remember. Everyone else killed it though. Neil killed it. I don’t care how upset he got. If I could ollie up onto the ledge as fast as him I’d be hyped. Brian did a barefooted skier to fakie with two board on the brick quarter pipe. Yeah. Jack and Max killed the double set area. Jack’s polejam manual late shove down the six is amazing. Max can ollie the rail like it’s a joke. Carleigh almost did the best line with polejam then kickflip down the six. Fuzz manned up to the double set and put a few tricks down. I filmed. Day 2 done. We headed back to Lazers for some late night partying and farewell wishing.
