skate journal: stubborn me at valmont (Aug 13, 2014)

legendary boulder skate spot

not looking so good

Feeling slightly better I went to Valmont later in the evening. It was still warm. I haven’t been there in awhile. As you can see the ledge isn’t doing so good anymore. I messed around for awhile doing slappy noseslide stuff, trying to get the legs going. They kind of did. The ledge was really sticky though. I waxed it a bunch. It would slide, but grinds were hard. I got one front 50 on the middle section and that was so hard for me. Had a good hc noseslide, some crooks, couple back 50s, weak front tails. A few flip tricks, but never a good treflip. Put a chair after the loading dock and ollied over it (in a line after kickflipping up the curb) which was pretty fun. The dock is taller then the chair and it wasn’t far out, but it was still fun. I skated pretty hard, but was tired and forcing things. Me stubborn, me should not skate so much. Oh well.
