I haven’t skated this park yet. It looks amazing. After a late night rager with the TF and Black Dots I thought I might be able to skate. It was supposed to be a TF day, but it seemed like it was falling apart. I didn’t help things by bringing Ollie. But when your son says he wants to go skating how can you say no? Especially when he needs to be practicing his contest runs. Anyways we met up with Jake, Travis, Brian, Fuzz and Neil. It became apparent quickly to me that I wouldn’t be able to ollie once again. Ugh. Seriously. It’s great, absolutely great being out with friends and all, but I want to skate and I’m starting to get really depressed about it. At one point I saw this dude do a perfect fakie flip into a little bank. It looked so good and fun and I about started balling that I can’t even attempt something that simple right now. Anyways, less emo, more skate. Jake was working on noseblunts on this fun pyramid bank and at the end of the session pulled it in textbook. Travis was ripping around the park blasting airs. Fuzz destroyed the little qp at the top and had some fun lines around the park. Ollie took a long time to warm up to the crowded park, but eventually started doing some stuff. We were skating this little bank for awhile and he did rock fakie then back rock. Brian came over and hadn’t seen the rock fakie and offered Ollie a huge Independent sticker for a rock fakie. Ollie did it first try. Brian felt betrayed. It’s not like it was a Thunder sticker so I’m not sure why he made a big deal over it. Brian skated the bank for a bit too and did a one footed back blunt. So sick. Ollie then got a front rock. I did nothing but carve around and do a couple manuals. I even had trouble with back 50s on the little qp. Ugh. I got a little front feeble on the pyramid hip. But other then that I was very depressed and would get more depressed when I watched people skate. Even though I couldn’t take advantage of the park I think it’s my new favorite park. I’m gonna take a few days off and overdose on anti inflammatorys and range of motion/jumping exercises. Hope it helps. I can’t describe how hard it is to try and skate with numb knees and ankles.
