Fallen is making some of the best shoes out there in my opinion. Some of the soles are a bit thick, but this shoe, wow, this shoe is basically perfect. My only complaint about these shoes is the huge logo. That’s not really a complaint, it’s just me being overly picky. I guess the lace saver ripped away after awhile, but that didn’t really bother me too much. I wasn’t able to tre flip lipslide huge handrails either. Not sure what’s up with that since these were the Billy Marks shoes and all, but maybe I should have actually tried it. Who knows, maybe it would happen.Fallen Footwear

skate journal: More SKATE with Matt downtown (July 31, 2008)

Posted in Skate Journal on August 1st, 2008 by corpo

Matt and I tried to do the late night skating thing again. Once again it didn’t work out to well as it was still really hot and I was tired. I’m still having lots of trouble with the big board and how different the timing is on it. I think overall I’m digging it though. Our game of SKATE went forever and we ended up playing until I spelled SKATEORDIE. Matt tried to play it off like he only had S, but later on at the bar I rattled off at least 4 tricks he didn’t remember bailing. One good thing that came out of the night was I tried frontside wallrides on a regular vert wall. I’ve never really committed to it before, but there was even a few I thought I could roll away from.We ended up at the Downer and had a couple too many beers making fun of women who dressed up all nice thinking they were in San Diego.  Seriously though, why do so many ladies dress up now?  This isn’t the OC or San Diego, it’s Boulder.  If this trend keeps up I’m gonna make a blog of photos of ladies dressed up all nice and make fun of them.At the end of the night I owed Matt $6 for a pitcher of PBR and he decided that if he could land a 360 flip in two tries I wouldn’t owe him the $6.  It took him three tries.  Cha ching.
