skate journal: blue skies on a cool monday (dec 15, 2014)
On a sunny, but cool Monday in the low 40s I headed to Blue Skies after lunch. There were a few puddles throughout the park and some ice left over from the little snow shower, but things were mostly skateable. It became apparent quickly that I would not be skating well. I managed a few things I enjoyed. Fs ollies on the little qp, boardslides to fakie on a flat bar, fast for me front 50s on the low ledge, back 180 the low part of the snake rail, cab kickturn on one of the weird banks. Finally got the backside 180 off the main ledge. But man it was really bad. Tried to ollie the low part of an escalator ledge and failed miserably. Seriously, not even close. Bummed me out.
