skate journal: brief wheatridge session on the way home (july 1, 2018)
Joe and Eric were about to hit the road back to Nebraska. But we drove down and hit Wheatridge for about 30 minutes. It was hot and it was tough to get the mind into skating, but we did it. We mostly started with a tiny qp session. Kevin was trying to learn peter blunts. Joe was doing his namesake. I did my second ever front smith to front rock. Kevin also had a funny fall trying to ollie the pyramid first thing. Eric and I skated the bowl briefly. Then we all hit the mellow bank above for awhile as I remembered I needed to do a switch no comply 180 on a bank. I got one. Kevin got one shortly after. Eric did a cool sal frontside flip and Joe did fakie flips to setup a line with front 50 down the hubba. (sorry I didn’t load the other clips, but I just did this one for my Dave challenge. I ended with a boardslide transfer into the hubba. Kevin tried to ollie the double set and slammed. Ha. Fun little session considering how hungover I was and sore we all were.
