(march 6)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Alright, so remember last time I skated I hurt my foot. \u00a0I rested it hoping it would be ok in time for SF. \u00a0After a night of sleeping on freezing cold concrete floor due to my air mattress being eaten by Gordon’s dog (It was really funny) we all skated to the new SF park. \u00a0I had set up some new ACE trucks at Gordon’s shop which is also where we were staying. \u00a0Stepping on my board to see how the trucks turned hurt. \u00a0UGH! \u00a0Trying to do some warm up ollies over manholes hurt even more. \u00a0UGH! \u00a0It was rad though, we all cruised down some streets and Fuzz and Neil were ripping. \u00a0Lots of fun\/clean ollies off everything in site. \u00a0Oh, so the crew at this point was Fuzz, Neil, Brian, Gabe, Gordon, Jake, Lazer and me. \u00a0As we waited in line for breakfast Jake and I did some flippers. \u00a0Kickflips started to feel kind of ok. \u00a0Oh, I should mention that I got some bulkier shoes just for the trip so my foot would feel protected. \u00a0They are some Vox – Jt Aultz. \u00a0\"aultz\"I think these shoes helped make it possible for me to attempt to skate. \u00a0Anyways, kickflips started to not hurt, but at the same time I couldn’t feel a catch or land really. \u00a0UGH. \u00a0After a short wait we got some super good food (good call Gordon and Sandy!) then headed to the park. \u00a0Showing up at the park the SF legend Danger was there as well as new Antihero ripper Peabody. \u00a0You know your in SF when those are the locals. \u00a0Anyways, I felt pretty intimidated by the ripping and my hurt foot. \u00a0I started to enjoy the bowl that Jake was ripping, but Nick showed up without his board and we went to get his board.Everyone else had left the park by the time we got back into the area so we (Nick, Gabe and I) went to 3rd & Army while we figured out where to meet them. \u00a0That place rules. \u00a0The 10 minutes we skated there was awesome. \u00a0Then we went to the Flower Shop which is this crazy kind of indoor gnarly tranny spot. \u00a0I couldn’t really skate as Danger and Drehoble were there watching. \u00a0It just spooked me since I was sucking too bad. \u00a0That didn’t stop Gordon, Neil, Lazer and Fuzz from ripping though. \u00a0Brian’s knee was really hurting him at this point, but it didn’t stop him from ripping too and slamming like a sack of potatoes. \u00a0In all the time we were there I did one crappy carve around a pocket about 5 feet under everyone else. \u00a0I suck.In front of the flower shop is some famous ledges. \u00a0Right before leaving Fuzz, Nick and I skated them. \u00a0I was struggling, but managed a front 50 on a ledge that Ethan Fowler ended some amazing line on in Art Bars. \u00a0It’s pretty fun skating famous spots. \u00a0Too bad my foot sucks so bad. \u00a0The first day was fun for me even tough I skated like a turd. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
