skate journal: red curbs! (april 25)

Had a super busy day cleaning and whatnot.  I met up with a warmed up  Jason, Fuzz, Neil and Rob at Red Curbs and Neil says “Awesome, Mr Mom made it out of the house”.  Ha ha.  Everyone was in a super good mood and skating well out of the gates.  I was slow to warm up, but it ended up being one of the funnest red curbs sessions to date and that’s saying a lot.  Fuzz pulled out his 1990’s bag and was doing all kinds of crazy tricks I’ve never seen him do like fakie 5-0, noseslide 270 shove, switch front tail, halfcab heel and even learned a new trick – halfcab blunt.  And he did it on the ledge instead of the curb.  Sick!  Neil was killing 40 foot long lipslides.  Rob landed a slappy back 50 no comply shove out as steezy as it can be done.  Jason was ripping everything.  The tricks that surprised me were a fakie nosegrind on the ledge, first try front smith on the taller curb and kickflip back tail on the tiny curb going two miles an hour.  I also came remotely close to fakie nosegrind 180 out.  Before leaving Neil, Fuzz, Rob and I played a game of SKATE.  Neil got out quick after trying a triple or nothing that didn’t work and then it was Rob and I with SKAT and Fuzz with nothing.  Nothing!  Fuzz got Rob on something and then it was Fuzz and I.  I ended up getting him to SKAT, but he one on a fakie heelflip shortly after snapping his nose on a fakie treflip attempt.  I should mention that Fuzz got me to try my first 360 flip since hurting my foot in March.  I landed the second one.  Hyped to be able to try that trick again and having cupsoles is way better for that trick.  Fun fun fun session.
