skate journal: wilville hucking almost a dream trick (may 9, 2024)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 10th, 2024 by corpo

After work it was looking like rain so I avoided Broomfield with Sean. It was sprinkling as I drove off and I went to Wilville so happy it’s that season. I started off at the little curb below the manny pad. I was feeling very timid still afraid to push although the calf was feeling better. I went in on some hucking to begin. Switch noseslide kickflip out and varial heels on flat. Got incredibly close to both then the cops came and gave me the boot. Argh. I had literally just landed on the sw noseslide kickflip out. I mean I came to a halt, but I am a 50 year old trying some flip out shit with a bum calf so whatever. Some of the varial heels felt so good, but I never got both feet on it. So after the cops said no skating I went about 100 feet away to the rock ride area. Still feeling very cautious about my calf I did a first basic line of rock ride to fakie, fakie bigspin, front 180 the 2 stair. Then a bunch of front 180s up the 2 and a bad halfcab flip. I went back to the manny pad area as I could see the cop car was gone. I went in on the same two tricks, this time not as close. Did a few flatground basics. Really like how kickflips felt. Added a couple nose manuals then left when some other skaters rolled up.
