skate journal: longmont park in pain (sept 25, 2014)
After work and then some Chipotle I met up with Riley, Scotty, Nolan, Dave and Josh at the Longmont park. At the start I bailed 3 axle stalls on the QP that Josh destroys above. I knew it would be bad after that. Really bad. My pushing leg achilles was hurting so bad. Every push hurt. I should have left, but I didn’t. Dave and I skated the mellow bank in the bank. I actually skated that part alright. Did a lot of no comply tricks initially. No comply bigspin, no comply front shove fakie, no comply finger flip fakie, no comply back shove fakie (never done that one before), no comply back 270 shove (I thought I was doing it like Cory Kennedy, but it turns out I wasn’t at all), fakie flip, b/s flip and a halfcab flip. Dave got a rare fakie flip, nollie bigspin, and more that I can’t remember right now. We were having fun and making fun of some of our ‘over 40’ makes. That was pretty much my skating. After that I filmed Josh for awhile, Riley for awhile and watched Riley, Nolan, Dave and Josh kill the QP. Dave and Josh learned the Scott Stevens trick (fakie body varial backside boneless). Josh also did some crazy tricks as you can see. Nolan and Riley played SKATE and it had some crazy tricks in it. Those dudes rip. I gotta figure out whats wrong with my achilles, it’s not good.
