skate journal: quick session at creekside (june 27, 2013)
One of these days where I should have rested and taken the day off, but instead I forced a session when I was tired and it was really hot. Like really hot, 97 hot. I couldn’t skate flat on the street because it was all soggy and melted. I didn’t have much time or I would have gone somewhere like Wilville. Instead I tried to find something redeemable at the school with the roughest driveway ever. I found a section of yellow curb that hadn’t been totally destroyed by school busses and was able to do some 50s on it. Then tried a couple lines. Back 180 off the curb, fakie flip then fakie 50. The fakie flip never happened because I would lose my balance in the roughness everytime. Going the other way I tried front 5-0 front 180 out, switch 180 up the curb, treflip. Didn’t get that either. Kind of a wasted session, sometimes I should just not skate. Oh yeah I had tried putting the thick lunarlon insole in the Nikes, but those things are ridiculously thick and dumb so about mid session I switched back to some thinner Lakai insoles. Lakai!
