skate journal: Filmer Glen with a bit of skating at the end (Sept 11, 2011)

Met up with Bernie, Sam, Garret, Max, Jack, Dean, Sean and I think that’s it. We went to some spots where I did some filming. Some not so easy, others really easy like above. Gotta love when there is a chair at a spot nearby. So awesome. The only not awesome part of that spot was watching Lester (Dean’s dog) fall off the loading dock. Ouch! Then we went to Crestview where I kind of skated. Got a boardslide popout, but started to feel some pretty good knee pain so I went to filmer mode again as Max wanted a couple lines. After filming Dean, Jack, Max and I kind of skated for awhile. Jack did some really cool slow tricks on the curb. Back big fakie 5-0. Some other stuff which was fun too. I kickflipped up the little two a couple times, but that was about it. Then we went to get a Gillinghammer for Nullozine. A crook on a flatbar against a wall. I got it, but it was horrible and didn’t feel very good at all. I think my leg/knee was beat and I couldn’t get a good ollie. Pretty fun day. Yet again at the end of the day though I can’t help but wonder if I should get my knee checked out. Sure it didn’t have intense pain this time, but it didn’t feel very good either.

Oh yeah I had some new shoes on. Ipath Derelict. The eS shoes weren’t dead, but I couldn’t wear maroon shirts at work in St Louis and I didn’t want to pack more than one pair of shoes. These shoes are awesome.
