skate journal: SKATE day (May 9)
As Brian would say, I’m a jock and jocks like flatground, so I was hyped to to a game of SKATE at the Boulder park with Berrics rules (ie, no no complies). I was pretty sore from the day before and skated Rampy for a bit with Ollie to get loosened up. Didn’t even really try any tricks, but it was fun. Then I went out and did a few tricks in the street before leaving for the Boulder Skatepark. Got to the park and played a couple chaotic games of SKATE with Little Jack, Nate and Big John. John killed it! They were fun games and then came the real game. Nate and I made the mistake of chilling out while we waited for our games to begin. It was 4 people and the top 2 advance. I played the worst game of SKATE ever missing tricks like front shoves 4 times in a row. Luckily no one else could hardly land a trick and I got to round 2 where I was pink slipped by 4 tricks I’ve never done before and a bailed 360 flip. Ha. Oh well.The rest of the day was spent messing around with the curbs, mini quarterpipe and more games of SKATE. It was a blast.
