skate journal: thornton park with josh and ollie (june 12. 2017)
The last day of the trip! Josh was the last one standing. We wanted a mellow park and we got it. We were pretty beat and staring out was hard, but not as hard as I thought it would be. I didn’t try many ollie or flip tricks though. The rainbow grind took Josh and I awhile. Ollie did the wallride every time. Even once with onto the first stair and front 180 off the second. Josh was doing some rad lines using and using the course to it’s potential. Ha. The quarterpipe tricks were sick though, that qp is so weird. The ollies over the weird hip were sick too. Josh did the bean plant transfer and it hyped me up to try it too. It was way scarier then I thought it would be. I eventually got the lame slow motion slider variation, but it was fun. We did sone from nose slides. Correction. Josh did sone front noseslides, I didn’t land them. But for the record I had did one earlier so it’s good. I’m not remembering much else. Josh ripped it. I wish we could skate that park together more.
