skate journal: downtown Boulder a big titted skater chick (July 26, 2010)
Met up pretty late with Carleigh on a hot night. After some cruising around we ended up at the Wells Fargo qp and were warming up when some hippy dude came up to Carleigh and said, “You have big tits for a skater chick.” Pretty funny. We left that area pretty quickly. Not because of the hippy dude, but because we felt like we were gonna shoot our boards into a window. We ended up at a dumb little double sided curb that we waxed up with the first attempt at GraNULLa wax (way too oily). Carleigh got quick up to boardslide. I got manual to front board and quick up to slappy lip that didn’t slide, but I’m still counting it. After some more dorking around we ended up at the popout ledge and skated it for a long time. Carleigh got some good noseslides. I did the best front board popout I’ve ever done then one of the funnest lines I’ve ever done. Sw front 180 off the curb across the street, kickflip up the curb, crook, roll into the street then put down the easiest treflip I’ve ever done. I giggled like crazy when I landed it. It sent a jolt of happiness through my body I can’t describe in words. Never have I done a 360 flip that felt that easy. I almost wanted to quit skating right there, but instead struggled with some pop shoves up the curb. This really tall dude Max met up with us for awhile and skated with a ton of energy and creativity. Drop down nose manual across the street, axle stall kickflip back to axle stall (wtf?), lots of fun tricks. After that we headed to Mountain Sun and had a few beers. We even stole a couple from a table that didn’t drink theirs. Awesome.
