skate journal: the opposite of awesome (10/31/13)

windy, cold, suck

Woke up at 5am for some dumb reason. Went to work early so had some time to kill before halloween festivities with the family. I wanted to go to Broomfield park, but didn’t want to drive that far. Went by Stonehenge and there were cars there. I really wanted something mellow. Drove by the ballpark ledges and new I wouldn’t be able to ollie that high by how I was feeling. Wind and lack of sleep can add to my arthritis and it was in full effect. Ugh. I ended up at this spot because there is kind of a bank there. Warming up never really happened. I was straight sucking the whole time. Back 50s where I felt like I was going to die the whole time. Couldn’t do crooks. Ugh. You can’t really see the leaves blowing by in the photo, but they were. I managed a line of back 50 then kickflip to fakie on the steeper part of the bank. I basically only did back 50s since crooks were not working. And even then I would rarely land them. I did a few front 50s going up it and then a few flippers at the end. One of which was 3 flip and it took a while. Argh.
