skate journal: couple random street spots (aug 18, 2025)
On another hot night I went to Boulder ditch of all places. It didn’t look good or feel good or even sound good (some campers yelling) so I left after bailing a few axle stalls.
Drove around a bit and ended up at a random spot nearby. Started with some drop down manual attempts and ollie up a couple curbs. Then I saw this taller drop thing which is way narrower than it looks on film. The sunset was amazing as I took a while to first do switch 180 into the mini bank then ride off. I could a couple kickflips into the mini bank, neither had a popped ollie like I wanted. Drove around a while after this trying to find a spot with good lights, but found nothing.
