Iowa City skatepark.  On our drive to Wisconsin we stopped for food in Iowa City.  We randomly drove by the skatepark and I had the family drop me off.  It was hot and humid, I had car legs, and as you can see this skatepark looks like crap.  The bottom of the main crappy bowl area was covered in a film of crap left over from water that apparently occupied the park for awhile.  I pumped around on some stuff getting the legs going then hit the ledges and flatground.  This park might suck but it had over 5 good ledges.  Where you at Team Pain?  I had some noseslides to get going then some crooks.  Out of nowhere did a great run for me.  Front 180 into a bank, halfcab flip on flat, crooks, 360 flip.  I was really hyped.  I posed some hardflips on a mellow backside bank and think I may have gotten closer to figuring out that trick.  Also got front 50 followed by crooks on the little ledge.  Close to front 5-0, as the family pulled up I got a front 50 shove.  Stoked I forced myself to skate the ledges even though they felt tall.  The kid waxing was with a friend.  Neither of them could ollie, but they waxed everything.
