skate journal: filmer glen and PMG glen at the beaver bank in york (sept 5, 2016 day 249)
The temp was warmer, we got close to 8 hours of sleep and we went to this bank spot as our final destination before heading home. Jack and Riley were dead from the night before. Garrett, Hayden, Joe and Eric had the fire though. Garrett filmed a gnarly dump truck and I filmed Hayden get a sick line. I had tried to skate a little before that, but it was just hucking around. I joined Joe and Eric on the steep bank after I filmed. Joe had already rattled off a few tricks and Eric was in the process of rattling off a bunch of new ones for him when I joined. Joe did kickflip to side rock and fakie bigspin. Eric did tricks that I don’t know the names of. They involve sal flips or both feet on the table blunts to fakie in the middle of the bank. I tried a bunch of no comply bigspins. I was the last one skating, I kept getting close, but not landing it. I was stressed as I was the only one skating and PMG (positive mental glen which is the oppopsite – basically self depricating/hating glen). I got a couple, but they were landed really poorly. Oh well. Then we ate at Runza and piled in the car to head home. Good trip, good people, all that. It ruled.
