Today’s song of the day.  So sick.  I remember when they premiered this on Mtv and people freaked out.

skate journal: Aurora park with Nullers (oct 29)

Posted in Skate Journal on October 30th, 2008 by corpo

Mikey, Chad, Riley, Bernie and I headed to Aurora park on a super nice warm day.  I had the day off work and after selling some boards we went to Aurora park.  Riley, Mikey and Chad skated the kicker to mellow bank so ridiculously good.  Riley put down all types of grabs before moving on to a second try kickflip that was textbook.  Mikey put down a pop shove in seconds and a nollie heel shortly after.  A few tries later Riley put down the steeziest backside flip I’ve ever seen.  So ridiculous.  I was having one of those really timid days where I was too tired to put much energy into my skating.  When I’m tired I suck at skating.  I tried a run where I’d boardslide the flatbar, manual down this ledge thing and kickflip the hip.  I never quite linked all three together.  Doh.  I sucked, but watching the Nullers kill it was fun.

skate journal: Tired Longmont session (Oct 28)

Posted in Skate Journal on October 30th, 2008 by corpo

Skated a little bit with Ollie at the school across the street.  I was very tired and just kind of goofing off.  Ollie managed to manual across the country.  Ok, the painting of USA they have on the cement.  Pretty rad though.  Later on Brian and Neil picked me up and we met Sean and half of Ft Collins at the Longmont park.  Neil straight killed it.  The only good that came out of the session for me was boardsliding the entire little ledge at full speed and getting into frontside noseblunts on the flat bank.  Oh and a fun game of SKATE with Sean, Neil and Brian where I finally landed a decent backside 360 no comply.  Rad.
