skate journal: filmer glen (July 8, 2012)
Posted in Skate Journal on July 9th, 2012 by corpoMet up with Carleigh around 11 with the weather report claiming a 100% of rain by 2pm. It was humid, but not hot and still I began sweating right away. It felt good as did my legs. We were just kinda cruising around waiting for Dean and Crisis kids to meet up with us. I think I finally felt somewhat warmed up when they showed up. I had a little line of something like pop shove into the handicap ramp, kickflip on flat, crooks the bench. Conor starting doing long ass boardslides:
I did a little line of fakie ollie a crack then fakie bigflip into the handicap ramp. Yippee. After a bit I played Justin in a game of SKATE. We both took forever to land our tricks. I came out on top and was happy on landing a 3 flip pretty quick. Other then that I felt kind of awkward on a skateboard.
After that Dean and I headed to Denver and picked up Derek and Aaron. We were looking for a place to park and drove by “The only spot in Denver” and saw someone doing treflips down the street hauling ass. We were like who is that? Then another dude does a 100 mph kickflip up the curb and back tails the ledge. At that point Dean was like “Those dudes must be pro” and it clicked that the Krooked team was in Denver. Ha, it was Mike Anderson doing the treflips and Brad Comer. We could have lurked, but we moved on. Went to a gap Derek was thinking about. We messed around with some flatground and Aaron tried to ollie a fire hydrant, hung up and slammed about as hard as one can slam. It was like five full pushes to whiplash into the ground. He walked it off though and skated the rest of the day. We ended up at one of the funnest spots in Denver. I had some ollie up the curb, boardslides on the ledge then it was all filming for the rest of the day. Derek struggled on a feeble for awhile. Dean got a line. Aaron ripped it. I filmed. Ended up meeting Sunny Daze and I filmed Chad for awhile. Then it rained, we chatted with Tyler Bush for awhile about Four then the night was done.
