skate journal: the opposite of awesome (10/31/13)
Posted in Skate Journal on November 1st, 2013 by corpo
Woke up at 5am for some dumb reason. Went to work early so had some time to kill before halloween festivities with the family. I wanted to go to Broomfield park, but didn’t want to drive that far. Went by Stonehenge and there were cars there. I really wanted something mellow. Drove by the ballpark ledges and new I wouldn’t be able to ollie that high by how I was feeling. Wind and lack of sleep can add to my arthritis and it was in full effect. Ugh. I ended up at this spot because there is kind of a bank there. Warming up never really happened. I was straight sucking the whole time. Back 50s where I felt like I was going to die the whole time. Couldn’t do crooks. Ugh. You can’t really see the leaves blowing by in the photo, but they were. I managed a line of back 50 then kickflip to fakie on the steeper part of the bank. I basically only did back 50s since crooks were not working. And even then I would rarely land them. I did a few front 50s going up it and then a few flippers at the end. One of which was 3 flip and it took a while. Argh.
