skate journal: broomfield industrial areas (Feb 15)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 16th, 2009 by corpo

Got picked up by the Factory in the Icebox around 1 and we headed out to the Broomfield area. First spot was a weird metal beam/ledge thing that I didn’t hit as it was too tall for me. I was feeling pretty out of it and just did a bunch of kickflips in a row to try and get my feet moving. Then a game of SKATE with Rob that I don’t think we even finished. Next up was a weird small bank to rails spot. Brian and I tried some pole jams to fakie and didn’t get close then I tried to carve around the bank and launch out of the side. I didn’t make the carve and my board went under the rail, but then came out after a ledge. Impossible to understand in words I suppose, but I ended up getting a weird sideways hippy jump while holding onto the top bar. It’s ridiculously stupid, but super awesome at the same time. Jason and Rob killed it too with some stall tricks on the lower bar. Jason did a alley oop fakie 5-0, but the TF cameraman recorded over it. Suck! Next we skated this one section for awhile where Rob, Jason and I skated a little hip for a second. I got a no comply 360 over it and a couple kickflips. Nothing special, but it was fun. In the same lot was a metal angled thing that we ollied on and did tricks off of. Rob did a super sick bonelss off. Jason almost got a manual up to 5-0 down I think. I got a boneless 180 off and then slammed and lost a lot of drive to continue skating it. Next up everyone skated the bumper of the Icebox for awhile. My noseslides sucked, but we filmed the end of the video. Lastly I skated a tiny little gap that I could barely ollie, then filmed a bit and almost fell asleep in the van. Fun day.

It was about 25 degrees and almost still snowing.  Brian and Neil picked me up and we went to a gnarly little bank thing that Brian wanted to blunt fakie.  After almost getting hit by a bus filming him and freezing our asses off we split to red curbs.  There was a run I’ve wanted to do for awhile and that’s basically all I tried.  After awhile Brian was kind enough to film it and surprisingly I landed it on film.  Front 5-0 on a curb, noseslide 270 on the ledge, no comply 270 back tail on a curb.  Very hyped on it.  That was basically the whole session for me, and filming Brian get a sick line.  Pretty rad day considering how cold it was.  

skate journal: Rampy with Ollie for a bit (Feb 15)

Prolly the first time we’ve skated Rampy and Ollie didn’t learn a new trick.  I was still fighting a cold and kinda just chilled.  Don’t remember anything in particular that I landed, but it was fun.
