skate journal: longmont park fun without much pain (aug 16, 2016 day 229)
Posted in Skate Journal on August 17th, 2016 by corpo
Went to Longmont park right after work. I had some minor foot pain going on all day, but when I arrived to the almost empty Longmont park it seemed to be completely gone. I felt good for once. I was wearing some really old NB# PJ shoes. My warm up was all over the place. In fact I didn’t really stick to anything and just cruised around. Had a couple of basic ledge tricks, flippers on the mellow bank. Rob showed around the time I got a line of ollie the backside hip, kickflip on the bank, boardslide the ledge and then bailed a front 5-0 or something. Rob cruised manuals, crail blocks and bonelesses for awhile. The one above is so steezy. I got a new trick on the mellow bank. Cab bigspin. Aka another Joe Hamilton trick. It felt cool. I tried a line of wallie up the snowboard jump then b/s flip over the hip, but never even committed to the b/s flip. Doh. Riley, Nolan and Garrett showed, Rob took off. Nolan and I dorked around on the mellow bank for awhile doing no comply tricks. He did a bunch of them like b/s no comply bigspin, cab no comply, no comply stale fish grab spin thing (ha) and who knows how many more. He got me to kind of land a couple fakie no complys and the stale fish trick. I stretched for awhile then did a few basic flippers before leaving. Fun day, first time without pain in awhile. Guess I’m back to skating cupsoles. Never doubt PJ.
