skate journal: fossil creek in the cold (dec 29, 2018)

It was super cold in the morning so I sold boards to Skate Ratz and MRKT, got some food and eventually made it to Fossil. There were a couple beginners up top when I got there, but they left. I started really slow, it was still quite cold out. After awhile I had some fun trying the line above with ollie up then front 50. It came kinda quick so I went for the shove out which didn’t come quick. Since it was so cold out the phone almost died after filming for only 10 minutes. Next I forced myself to ollie up the 3 stair. It took awhile. After that I mostly hit the main ledge. I was bumming on my wide wheels because I couldn’t lock in to crooks to save my life. It was so annoying, that ledge is normally my favorite ledge to crook. Good bye wide wheels, I don’t really like you anyway. I got a first try back 50, but it was more of just an axle stall. Still, I was happy about it. I had halfcab noseslide, front 50s too. Man, I really didn’t do much. Seemed like I was trying pretty hard and having fun though.
