skate journal: flatground suck and then some messing around as filmer glen (may 6, 2018)
Feeling very blah and knowing I would be filming later I went to the school to try the 10×10 list Nate had given me. I was wearing some shoes I’ve had for awhile, but been too scared to skate in because of how tall the heel is. NB# 288. They felt okay though, gave me more confidence to commit to the board. But my mind was very unfocused and I just didn’t have it. I got 4/10 and only two tricks on the list I should land. Argh. Later on we were at Valdez. As people warmed up I hucked kickflip noseslides because there wasn’t much point in trying to really warm up. It was kinda fun. Then I filmed Jack and Hayden and they got tricks. Lots of driving and filming later we were at DU and I skated the pond for a bit. It was cool. Hayden and jack did back nosepicks. Coburn did back d. Chad and I did axle stalls and rock ‘n roll. No one got back 50 on the steeper one. All in all a decent day of filming. It was exhausting though. Lots of driving. Jack’s 5-0 was nutso.
