Contest day!
Saturday was Contest day at the park. Thanks to Johnny, the skateshop owner, who was probably the main organizer of that whole thing. You could sign up for beginners, medium or advanced. They charged you 5 bucks. It was a lot of fun although the crowd really sucked. People were mostly just sitting around and watching and didn't cheer; that's definitely a really important part of a contest in my eyes. I still tried to encourage some people and had a good time. I signed up for advanced and got 4th. I'm kinda proud because the first three places were "reserved"; Nick, Kyle and Aaron are all in the primal skateshop team and are just on another level; each of their warm up runs is already better than my best run. My run was still good, I just bailed one trick and was kinda stocked that I landed a bs flip first try down the bank where the guy in the hippie shirt does a hardflip. In the following 8 minute jam session were some tricks landed, but most people just chilled. I mean, who wants to land a sick trick when no judge (there were just 2) is watching? You know, everybody does sick stuff without cameras or judges, but at a contest you want the judges to watch it! So in the end Kyle got first, Aaron second and Nick third. After that, we went to my school and skated there (dylan, me, chase). Chase landed his first kickflip down the 5. I did a perfect bs heelflip. Dylan did a 180 over a 6stair handrail with cracks in the run up, that was really insane. According to this we skated a little 3 stair handrail and Dylan killed it again, pictures coming soon...
It's already 5:33 am, I didn't get any sleep so far. I feel really weird and cannot imagine going to school in just 3 hours and getting up in 2. I never stayed up that long for no reason, and there is really no reason tonight. I read about 20 pages in my world history book but I was to tired to pay attention. This day is already wasted, after a really good weekend full of good skateboarding, chilln, food, friends and a very nice phonecall ;).
