skate journal: brief parking garage session as the floods start (Sept 11, 2013)
Ollie and I went to this parking garage on a very rainy night that would mark the start of the rainiest period in Boulder history. We drove by Red Curbs which was more like Red Lakes. This stretch was also some of the least I have skated lately. I felt rusty. But my legs weren’t sore which was kinda nice. I had an ok session. Highlights were a great feeling heelflip, lots of front 5-0s on the curb, kickflip to fakie on the bank (not the steep side because that would involve only being about 3 feet tall), b/s flip on the little hip, slappy crooks. Lowlights were not landing any back 50s, taking too long to do the kickflip to fakie, not landing a treflip. Ollie was ripping though. Lots of fast manuals across the hip thing, ollie onto the bank with a f/s halfcab off (so good!), ollie onto the bank turn around then f/s 180 off, lots of 180s, ollied onto the little median and kinda manualled it. Driving home was sketchy. The next couple days worth of floods good really sketchy.
