skate journal: rock creek, water log ditch (Oct 25, 2014)
I waited at my house for Lazer and Rob to arrive. I waited and waited so i went over to the school and dorked around on the curbs and stairs. The parking lot is so rough it makes actually trying grinds not fun. I did front tail stall shove out, front nose with a weird front 270 out, a few other regular stalls. Tried to ollie down the stairs a few times, but failed.
Rob showed and we picked up Lazer and headed to Rock Creek. I felt disoriented. I was almost getting warmed up on the ramp when Rob started a ledge session that birthday boy Lazer killed. Front nosegrind! He’s 30 now. He also had some really long crooks on the lower ledge. Rob had boardslide, crooks and almost halfcab boardslide. I did noseslide on the top part, crooks on the lower and could not get up to front 50 on tall which was oh so frustrating. We played a game of SKATE that Rob won. I was hyped to have gotten a halfcab one foot in it at least.
Then we went to a nearby ditch where on the very first run Rob lost his board into water. Doh. Lazer was soon to follow. I was starting to think I might escape, but nope. Into the drink. Lazer had some crazy roll ins. Chief showed up around the time my board was finally drying out. I got a line with back feeble, front pivot, kickflip on a bank. Chief killed some slides to fakie. I wish he could have met up sooner, but it got dark so we went to Crisis.
