skate journal: Parker skatepark with Riley (Nov 17)
Got up pretty early and picked up Riley to hit the new skatepark we’ve heard so many good things about. In some ways I was disappointed when I first arrived, but in others I was more impressed then I would have thought. It’s a great park. Look for photos here soon. I skated like crap all day. I was not confident on my skateboard and survived a few close calls with death on the stupidist stuff. Riley on the other hand destroyed that place. He skated the big 3 and did back bigspin, switch flip, switch heel (first try), switch front bigspin and something else I’m forgetting. It was so sick. About the only thing I did that was new for me was grind around a corner the hard way, when the curb is convex. Pretty fun. That park rules. I’d like to skate it again when I have more energy.
