skate journal: filmer glen in pueblo (Feb 23, 2013)

Was feeling pretty hyped on the Null video so far after watching a lot of the footage with Fuzz the other night so decided on a mission to Pueblo where it was dry. Two car loads of people were willing to get up early and make it happen so we did. I had Chad, Connor and Max. Carleigh had Jack, Blaine and Derek. My car got to Pueblo first (of course) and we started out at the courthouse bank spot. My legs were feeling really bad. The quads man. I don’t get it. I could barely move. I did manage some slappies on a low curb and to get two letters on Chad in a game of Break-In-Chads-shoes SKATE. Max was all over tearing it up. I would film him get a good line about the time the second car showed up. I got to have a little more fun doing more slappys and back 50s on a curb, some front tail stalls on the mellow bank, etc. Max tried to ollie a gnarly gap. Carleigh got a million little prickers on her after falling into the grass. We moved on to the Ka*Mitt in Pueblo. Rad shop. We picked up a couple people and headed to the spot above. That spot has everything. While people warmed up I dorked around. Was hyped on getting an awkward kickflip on the bank and doing some kickturns like Carleigh is above. Derek nose picked it all steezy. Jack got a sick line. Our guide Andrew murdered the place. Some boards went in the water. Some boards were broken. IE, my board was broken nollie flipping a pretty big gap over water onto a weird bumpy landing. That should be enough of a clue to tell you I wasn’t skating it. Andrew managed to get the nollie flip on Max’s board. Crazy. Those are some skills to adapt to other peoples setups. We setup our new boards and skated near the shop for a bit. Got kicked out of the RTD station. Went to campus where my legs were feeling ultra weird. I managed a back 5-0 to fakie on the litle mellow fun bank at least. Max and Connor had some sick tricks on that. After that Derek almost got a bangin’ line, but the spot just kind of ended weird. I filmed some more on some weird ledge/block arrangements, but it was nothing crazy. Then it was back on the road heading home and feeling exhausted.
