skate journal: Boulder park in the morning what is wrong with me? (May 26, 2012)
Had one of those Saturday mornings where I woke up at sunrise for some dumb reason. I did some stuff on the computer for awhile then decided I should bite the bullet and skate a bit since I wouldn’t be able to the rest of the weekend. I went to Boulder park. There was some dad’s in sandles and bike helmets skating with their kids and some remote control car action going on. Ugh. Just another reminder why I despise skateparks. But I stuck with it and had some fun. I was feeling very caffeinated from some matte and cranked up OFF! on the way to the park. That happy caffeine feeling went away pretty quick when I bailed and axle stall and I almost went down hard. Skating early in the morning is so tough for me. In the end I did some basics that I’ve done at that park awhile ago when I skated it once in awhile. My favorite line was dropping into the deep bowl, grinding out of the roll in thing, front 50 down the hubba, roll into the mini section then a front rock. I also got a front d there, but man I suck at tranny. Granted I haven’t been skating it at all lately, but it’s pathetic. I also did like 20 f/s ollies over the tiny hip hoping that maybe on one of them my board would actually leave the ground. I don’t think it did. Ha. Hyped I skated at least. Boulder park is so dated.
