skate journal: kgnu manny pad with Jason and Nate (May 22)

Quick after work session with Jason and Nate at the tiny manny pad we used to skate a lot.  Jason and I were there for a bit before Nate joined us.  Between Jason and I we had like 3 tricks total before Nate came in and literally did 6 different manny tricks in a row first try.  Talk about feeling old.  Geez.  Nate is good.  I had a good time even though I really didn’t last much.  I kept skating hard and tried a lot of new stuff.  Came somewhat close to a fakie bigspin manual.  Tried it like 50 times.  Considering I’ve only landed a fakie bigspin up a curb a few times I wasn’t that bummed.  The one rare trick I actually landed was a nose manual nollie front 180 out.  Well, more of a front pivot out, but who’s keeping score?  I came close to a few fakie hardflips too.  Fun.
