skate journal: central city Nebraska quick weirdness (July 20, 2021)
After some swimming in a lake I made a run to Central City to check out the weird skatepark I had seen clips of. It was less impressive than I thought it would be. Poor construction and wavy concrete. But whatever, it’s unique and had some fun elements. I started ultra basic with a roll in then rock fakie on the death spine. After some carves down the snake run and fun mini spine hops I mostly hit the ledge. Aka the only not unique feature. It’s a good ledge though. I did a few no pop noseslides, then front 50s and accidental 5-0s. Then to my surprise a second try manual. Had a fun line of crooks then ollie up a ledge then down to front 50 shove. Got a couple halfcab noseslides and managed to front 180 up the drop. Got front 50 and made myself do back 50 which took a bit. Glad I made myself do it though. Lastly I hucked some back disasters in the shallow of the mellow bowl but ended up giving up and headed back to the lake for another swim.
