skate journal: boulder park blah before work (oct 12, 2018)
On a cold morning I went to Boulder park before work. I wanted to go into work early and then take a long lunch, but I had a suspicion I would be too busy ( I was right). My legs were a little stiff in the cold. Pumping around was alright. I eventually tried some ollies and kickflips. Some younger skaters came and made sure not to make eye contact or say hi. I had some fun hip ollies. The big setup feels great for that. I eventually settled on a line that took too long because I kept being scared of jumping on 50s on the little ledge. Argh. But it was front 50 across and down the little ledge up top, go around the miniramp section then b/s flip the weird hip by the ledge. I got about 10 grinds and managed to land the line right before I needed to leave for work. It was a pretty great feeling even though I think I was about 3 feet above my board in the air. Oh well, the landing felt cool and the bigger setup felt great for that.
(setup 8.5 null perception deck, 5.8 venture black icon trucks, venom 88a bushings, 3 washers inside each axle, old bones 51mm stf v1 wheels, new balance numeric 345 black/white size 12, stock insoles)
(pain level 5/10 cold/sore knees)
