poolskating

October 13th, 2007

It’s quite unbelievable. Last week I started rolling again. This morning i was googling to see if there were any boarders around whose Loaded i could use.

What do i find to my great surprise; Amersfoort, the city I live in has its own skate pool. This is so strange. I used to dream about skating in such a park. And today dropped in. It was such an adrenalin rush, dropping in, carving. I even pulled a 5-0 the guys there told me.

A 5-0 is when three of the four wheels leave the ramp, or pool.. Anyway, it is briliant, i am going to skate there much more…

This is a video from that pool:

I also found out that Amersfoort will host one of the largest skateparks in the benelux, 4000m2. Just beside my house! Too crazy. It hasn’t been constructed yet, but i went there today. A huge asphalt slab. Lovely to carve around on… I will keep you updated.

The last thing i found out was that there is an army base with a huge downhill just outside my town. I think i am going to ride there tomorrow…

If my muscle ache will permit it, because all that pushing is really hurtin.
