skate journal: 98 arvada sore and a hip spot killing my foot (may 3, 2026)
Posted in Skate Journal on May 5th, 2026 by corpoWent to Arvada park to meet up with 98 dudes. I was incredibly sore. Never did anything at Arvada other than huck front heels on the blue bank. Cass was off again. Dan did the best nollie front 180 I’ve ever seen. Scott almost a fakie heel. Preston smith grind the bank to C ledge was nuts. Gordon was poppy.
Off to the nearby hip spot. I didn’t feel confident enough to skate the main bank. Gordon and I looked at the little one around the corner and tried to get going on it. He did a shove. I tried no comply shove and was close, but on the quick push run up I felt a pop in my foot and instant pain shot through it. Argh. I’m done for a while, this was a bad one. I watched Ladd, Preston, Dan, Joe try some tricks. They were close.
