skate journal: A few minutes with Ollie before SF!!! then SF (March 4, 2010)
After four days of being stuck in a class and not doing my normal stretching routines at work I got out early hyped to be leaving for SF shortly. It was gorgeous outside and Ollie was skating with his friend Cooper in the driveway. I set my board down to push and this weird pain shot through my left hip/groin. Ugh. Great way to start a trip. I kept skating a bit though. Kickflips felt ok. I ended up skating the ledge with them which is right by the house so I have to skate super slow (nothing new there eh?). Ollie was doing slappy front 5-0s. I was trying kick front boards and got one. It was horrible, but landed. First one ever. Sweet.After a bus ride, plane ride and then a train ride I skated with Nate, Neil and Lazer from the BART station to Cruz Skateshop where we were staying. We sessioned the curb for a minute, but nothing too serious went down. Hyped to be in the greatest skate city.
