skate journal: proving how stubborn i am. boulder ditch (nov 9, 2015 day 301)
Had an hour to kill after work before I needed to pick up Ollie from basketball practice. I was super sore from the marathon skate yesterday so I didn’t want to ollie at all. I debated Boulder ditch or Boulder skatepark and ended up at Boulder ditch. Probably the right choice. I tried ten tricks on the smaller cement qp on the left, but gave up after axle stall to fakie wasn’t working. I didn’t really do much for awhile. Just kind of doing some little boardslides on the pvc and stuff, tailslide attempt on the waxed edge of the ditch. Then tried back 50 on the pvc which was fun and then I forced myself to feeble grind the pvc which I don’t think I’ve done before. It was quite fun and made the whole session worthwhile. It was pretty dark and I was just sitting around on my phone when an older dude came by and cruised the ditch and ducked under a tree like he was getting tubed by a wave. It ruled. Today I also realized that I’m pretty happy with my setup. Cool!
