skate journal: denver park blah in the morning (may 14, 2017)

Left a little early to pick up my mom at the airport so hit D park for about 30 minutes. I had gone for a longer run than I have in years (2 miles) so I was sore and not very motivated. I just kind of pushed around and tried tiny ollies and manuals for awhile. I settled into a run that should have been very easy, but ended up proving to be more then I wanted. Kickflip to fakie on the little bank by the entrance, switch 180 on flat, noseslide the little ledge, axle stall on the washboard qp. The only trick I got was the noseslide, and it was a struggle. I was reminded how much I dislike 8″ high trucks. I like 8″ lows or bigger high trucks. Ugh. I also posed some kickflips to fakie out of the snake run into a little bank. It seemed doable. But then I needed to leave. I really didn’t do anything while I was there. Why did I even go skate? Ha.
