skate journal: Rolled my ankle at the SOL ramp (Jan 4)

Posted in Skate Journal on January 5th, 2009 by corpo

I can’t even believe how huge the SOL ramp since I’ve basically only skated my own little ramp lately.  It felt great to be able to get some speed and it took me forever to start warming up.  I got a back axle stall to fakie and was just about to get in the groove and bailed a front 50 attempt that resulted in me stepping on my board weird and rolling my ankle.  Ugh.  Not a bad roll.  Probably wont be skating for a week or so though.

skate journal: Rampy for a bit (Jan 3)

Had a blast with the kids all day.  Went swimming, to the grocery store, played Trouble.  Basically had a blast all day.  After they went to sleep I skated Rampy for about an hour.  Liz even took a couple photos.  Started trying a new trick for me.  Fakie front smith to fakie.  Never committed, but was close.  Accidently landed a new trick when I was trying nollie pivot – nollie back smith stall.  Also tried a bunch of lines I’ve never done before.  Back 50, back 5-0, back feeble, back smith.  Got dizzy on that one.  Also did my first front 50 while coming out of an axle stall instead of a tail stall.  I gotta get rid of my 20 tail stalls/ rock fakies per run.feeblefeeble grind50 revertBack 50 revertsmithmaybe not the front smith I landed, but compensating for the crappy delay on our digital camera sucks.
