skate journal: Boulder ditch&random street spots (Nov 27, 2009)
Black Friday so I went shopping starting at 4:00 am until 11am. Joking. Got back from my parents around 11 and met up with Neil, Brian, wasted Carleigh and Lazer at my house. Some dorking around in the street went down before going to Boulder ditch where I started off sucking as usual. That place is hard to skate. Brian and I played a game of tranny SKATE on the little kid bank to curb. As expected Brian pink slipped me pretty easily, but it was still a fun game and it lasted awhile. Brian did 4 blunt combos to get me to T and a front 5-0 to fakie to end it. In the middle somewhere I got a disaster on it and a front crail thing which I’m pretty sure was the first time I have ever done that trick. Probably the funnest time I’ve had at the really hard to skate Boulder ditch. Lazer did like 50 tricks before getting a headache. At the end I noseslid to fakie the new ledge there and Carleigh got a drunken boardslide on it.Next we went to a new area behind all the car dealers on Pearl/Foothills and explored a bit. There was a decent low ledge, but no one else was into it. There was some narrow ride on ledges with drops. Kinda dumb, but I had fun attempting to ollie up from shitty asphalt then ride along a ledge, drop down a level and ollie off. I managed to hang up a lot landing in the crappy asphalt and skinned my knee up even more. Awesome.Brian, Lazer and I made a quick Ash ramp run at the end of the day. Those dudes ripped it. I didn’t at all. Big mellow ramps are so foreign to me now.
