skate journal: Commerce City park with Nate and Neil (Nov 28)
Feeling fat and lazy from Thanksgiving we went to Commerce City on a crisp evening. Greg showed up and it was super rad to see him skate again. He killed it. I didn’t. It took me forever to kickflip up the stepup. Ugh. I was able to ollie into one of the steeper banks first try though which took me several tries last time I was there. I had contemplated focusing my board at several points in the session due to sucking so bad and the fact that it’s already pretty cracked. But I didn’t. Good. Right before we left I finally got in a decent zone and had a good run for me: backside flip on a flatbank, powerslide down a little bank, back 50 ledge, back tail stall on a flat bank, then front 50 on the 3 stair ledge. I wanted to get a front 5-0 shove at the end of the line but I bailed. I ended up landing that eventually then left after ollieing off of the new drop from the top to the upper ledge area. It’s just a drop but I havne’t done anything like that in awhile. All in all I skated like crap, but I made up for it a bit at the end and was happy to not have focused my deck. Laters.
