skate journal: Denver spots with Ollie and his buddy Sam (May 15, 2010)
Woke up late on a Saturday and had to get rolling quick to Denver to get India to the Tech Fair. After a few hours at the Science Museum and a first place prize to India (seriously) I took Ollie and his buddy Sam skating instead of walking around the museum. We went to a nearby loading dock banked area where I sucked it up. Ollie was ripping though. It’s basically a manual pad, but with banked edges and some hips. I did some bad ollies in various ways which were way harder and worse than they should be. Some manuals. Ended it with a f/s halfcab flip on the mellow bank. Ollie did a bunch of his little ollies and halfcabs into trannies. He also did a nosegrab to flat that blew me away. His buddy Sam was had fun too and even ate shit a couple times rolling into the bank.Then we drove around looking for some other spots. We found a couple loading dock spots. One I did a front board shove transfer on. One I powerslid down and ruined my wheels. Like completely destroyed them. I wish the new Null wheels would be here already. Oh well, I had an ok time. My groin was hurting a bit all day though and I just plain felt awkward on a skateboard.
