skate journal: Longmont with Jason (July 11, 2009)
Jason and I headed to Longmont since I had to sell some boards to SOL. After chilling at SOL for a bit we went to the little concrete park were Jason milked his hangover and I skated in the heat. Since I didn’t skate much all week my legs felt good, but they didn’t seem to remember what to do. I dorked around for the most part (nothing new there). Tried to get my Leo on and front 50 up the little hubba, but didn’t get it. Got a krooks on one of the bank to ledges and almost front 180 nose grind. Boardslid around the C ledge and front 5-0d it. I was trying front 50s though. Typical. I only land good tricks when I’m not trying them. After awhile I settled on trying a run where I ollied up the tall ledge, ollied into the bank and noseslid down the curved hubba. I never landed the noseslide.Next we went behind Skyline HS to the red ledges. I wanted to film a wallie up no comply finger flip off the last time I was there, but couldn’t ever put them together. This time around I started trying no comply shoves instead and eventually got it shortly after Jason started filming. Rad! Then the wind kicked up super hard and I filmed Jason navigate blowing trash for a front noseslide on the tall ledge. Awesome.
