skate journal: little arvada park with Ollie and the most annoying dudes ever (July 15, 2012)
I’m not sure what got into me, but I was super tired over the weekend. I got plenty of sleep and didn’t drink beers so I have no idea what caused it. All day I sat around, trying to get motivated. Finally Ollie said he wanted to skate so I knew I had to. We went to little arvada after stopping by and watching a bit of street league at Crisis. When we first got there the park was empty. Amazing. Ollie was cruising around with a huge grin doing little kickturns/grinds and genuinely looking like he was having a blast. I was sucking. Struggling with everything. Then some dudes came that were decent skaters, but they were just super loud and obnoxious and oblivious to the fact that there were kids (families at the playground a few feet away) around. It definitely bummed out Ollie and me. But we skated. I don’t think either of us did much. The only new thing I did there was a crooks on the steep bank. I got a rock ‘n roll on the shallow pool corner too, but I think I’ve done that before. Ollie did some rock ‘n rolls both ways on the little qp at the top, I got front feeb and smith on it and we called it a night.
