skate journal: garage sesh (Dec 4)

Posted in Skate Journal on December 5th, 2008 by corpo

Felt like skating, it was cold and snowing.  So I pulled out the old tape player, an Afghan Whigs tape, a couple beers and skated some flatground in the garage.  I’m sick of trying tricks I can do in my garage because it’s too small and I skate super hella Busenitz fast so I need more room (joke).  I mostly tried switch flips, heelflips and fakie hardflips.  My heelflips have really been sucking lately.  I got a couple and came really close to some fakie hardflips.  Never really tried those before.  Gotta get on it, it’s right there.  Had a blast even if I was spending as much time sipping beer and listenig to grunge.

skate journal: Commerce City park (Dec 2)

Posted in Skate Journal on December 5th, 2008 by corpo

Went to Commerce City with Nate, Neil and Lazer.  The park was actually kind of crowded, but with a bunch of people that were actually skating.  It was cool.  Chris and Chadman showed up.  I struggled on a bunch of stuff.  Couldn’t get a kickflip to fakie on the quick flat bank, couldn’t do a kickflip 50, couldn’t land a treflip, couldn’t land a back tail on the bank, etc.  Played a game of SKATE with Chad and got him to SKAT though.  Toward the end of the session I put down a great feeling 360 flip on flat and it really cheered me up.  That park is awesome.
