skate journal: wilville filmer glen and a long line (June 15, 2012)
Had a productive day calling mega skate companies looking for advertisements for Four (I talked to Colt Cannon and James Craig among others!) and selling some Null boards at Meta. All day I wanted to skate hard, but I could tell my knees were still stiff. Derek and Chad showed up and we met up with Carleigh and eventually Dean at Wilville. I dorked around as Derek was going for revenge on a drop down b/s flip. Unfortunately he never got his revenge. Chadman ripped it too and almost got some goods. I started trying this line and it seemed like my legs were gonna work. Front 50 the ledge up top, kickflip a crack, ollie onto the ledge, ride into the bank, ollie off the curb, manual the sidewalk (at this point it’s downhill and kinda fast (for me .. derek would push downhill at it)). I didn’t quite get the manny, saw a cop and hid our boards. Carleigh wanted to ollie a rail and after it appeared the cop didn’t care I filmed her and Dean shot photos. Sickness Carreigh! After that I tried my line again and got really pissed at how much my legs had shut down in such a short period. Ugh. I would eventually get it though with a couple small *tilts* on the manual. Oh well, in a few months that shit will count (being 40 is gonna rule for excuses. Oh what’s that my tail scraped on a manual? Screw you I’m 40 ha ha). Next up a week in Durango with Liz’s family reunion. At least the park is decent there.
