skate journal: Feeling old and summer heat don’t go together so well (aug 3)
Posted in Skate Journal on August 4th, 2008 by corpoThe above photo basically explains how I felt. I woke up at 9am after 3 straight late nights and the first thing I heard was Ollie asking, “Dad, when are we going skateboarding today?” I had promised to skate with him. Around 1 pm we finally headed out to a fun little park in Longmont that shouldn’t have anyone there. It was closed for repairs and fenced off. Ugh. Then we went to this other little park, but a thunderstorm prevented that. Ugh. Drove all the way back to Boulder and it was raining. Found a parking garage finally. Ollie was flying around. Kid has so much fun skating. It’s weird though, sometimes when I’m out with him I feel even older than normal. Today was one of those days. We went to the banked curb spot that I skated the day before, but this time I ran into a curb at full speed trying to carve around all the blocks and bloodied up my knee. Over it.
