skate journal: quick skate break from the editing madness at bear creek elementary (oct 9, 2022)
On a beautiful fall day I dashed out shortly before sunset to get some skating in after completing a rough draft of Something. I got in my car and started driving towards Southern Hills but ended up here instead. It has some random stuff and it was kind of fun. I just pushed around the school a bit then started lining out some stuff the way I do. Had a fun gap to axle, ollied up a curb a few times to try and do a backside flip on a micro hip, had a few basic flippers, couldn’t ollie onto the weird ledge in the back. It was hard to focus on skating through, everything felt surreal, like I should be editing my skating rather than actually skating. Hard to explain, only those that have made a skate video would probably understand. I really did hate the 440s the last two days.
