skate journal: snowy morning then the creature board DIES (April 23, 2011)
Seriously, it was snowing in the morning. April 23rd, and it’s snowing. Ugh, Colorado can be so lame sometimes. It killed filming plans. I spent the time trying to make a new Null teaser which was for the most part very productive. But sitting down for so long killed my legs. I attempted to go skate at Southern Hills. I had told Carleigh and Neil to come meet me and they both sounded interested. I warmed up ok. But had a couple weird falls that I blame on that Creature board. I seriously hate that board. It felt wider than it was long. The tail was so short I would miss ollies non stop. Anyways the one thing I did I was happy with was a kickflip over the little crack thing followed by a crooks on the bench. I’ve wanted to try that for awhile and it came quick. After that I started thinking about trying the bench to bench gap. I figured a good warm up would be to ollie off the two stair with speed. I ended up falling super awkward and in my head just could not deal with that board anymore. I got up and focused the shit out of that board. One stomp. One pissed off stomp that went through that board so easy I hurt my heel on the concrete. Session over. Board done. Good riddance.
