Best game of SKATE at the Berrics yet. PJ rules. He pops his tricks so high with such good style.

Steven Webb. Some whack tricks in there, but for the most part it’s amazing and my god the kid can do anything.

skate journal: solo rampy (Jan 26)

Posted in Skate Journal on January 27th, 2009 by corpo

Had a blast playing with the kids and hit Rampy after reading the kids to sleep.  Skated ok.  Got a few more of those fakie front smith to fakie stalls.  Tried to do front smiths and front d out of axle stalls and finally got them.  I’m really trying to get out of my rock fakie/tail stall rut to set up for everything.  Did a lot of back 5-0s, couldn’t do an ollie.  Way too tight, I have no idea how Lazer does it.  I got really tired quickly and decided my new trick would be an easy one – switch rock ‘n roll.  I rock creek’d it real good too.  I tried a few out of front disaster, but eh, too tired.

skate journal: Denver spots with Jason, Neil, Fuzz and some Meta dudes (Jan 24)

It had snowed a bit and was cold in the morning, but somehow the sun came out and it ended up being pretty warm.  Jason and I met up with Neil, Fuzz and the Meta crew at an amazing ledge spot.  Everyone else was warmed up so it was kind of a bummer to start of sucking like I was.  But it got fun quick.  I tried a front 50 and ended up locking into 5-0 and shoved out.  I also got a sloppy front 50 front bigspin out.  I was feeling pretty good at that point, but then kinda went downhill for awhile and could only do front 50s.  Lame.  The ledge is really fun though, it’s fun to grind for a long time.  Fuzz freaked out and focused his board and a jug of water.  Neil landed a first ever front tail shove out.  Jason killed a long front noseslide.  After a long drive we ended up at a really fun tight little bank to ledge.  Jason straight killed it.  Back smith, back tail, everything quick.  I got a wallie out of the ledge, front rock, front smith stall and somewhat close to a kickflip pivot.  I ended the day with another wallie.  So fun.
