skate journal: boulder high with carleigh (feb 23, 2011)
Long day at work followed by dinner with my parents and family in Longmont. Got home around 8:30 and picked up Carleigh for a short session. She had to be back around 9:30 so I just went to the closest spot – Boulder high. I ended up having fun. We skated the back mostly and I mainly just wanted to ollie onto one of the benches, drop off then quickly ollie onto the next. I got close, but had a few close calls where I would almost slam into the second one. I basically kept making a line further and further out until I ran out of space. By the end I was trying ollie a short 3 stair (super hard approach), front board (jib) a light pole pillar, kickflip a crack gap then hit the benches. One time I nailed my shoulder so hard on the wall. Ouch. Carleigh mostly just tried varial heels and got pretty close. So sick. We went towards the car and hit the 4 stair then flat gap. I ollied both first t, then went back and did a better ollie down the 4 and a front 180 on the gap. Carleigh did both first t too. Short session, but fun.
