skate journal: new spot, new tricks and new footage ha (May 5, 2012)
After a fun morning watching Ollie’s flag football game (He got MVP proud papa alert!) and celebrating with him I met up with Carleigh mid afternoon. She has been finishing up a crazy project for school so didn’t have much free time either. I had thought of a spot I saw on her blog awhile ago, but hadn’t skated. It’s a school out on east Araphoe. It’s got a bunch of curbs, some hard to skate ledges and some gaps all packed into a small little area. I loved it. Carleigh was getting kind of pissed initially, but things worked out. I can’t believe how hard it is for me to ollie up 3 curbs in a row. I was hyped to manual the main ledge though. It has kind of a tall drop so coming out of manny was something for me. After some messing around Carleigh insisted on filming me try a dumb trick. Gap to axle stall to manny. I never got it. But I did get gap to axle stall then b/s flip off the next curb. I even tic tac’d like crazy out of it to make it dumber. After that I filmed Carleigh get a banger line. Ollie up the curb, boardslide the ledge to big drop, kickflip off a curb. Hyped we filmed after all.
