skate journal: more Lville with Jake and Rob (Sept 17, 2009)

Posted in Skate Journal on September 18th, 2009 by corpo

The park was crowded on another super nice night.   We tried to turn the hockey rink lights on so Jake could learn 3 flips, but they never came on.  We skated amongst the crowds.  Jake got a sick line of a 5-0 to fakie then a f/s cab over the hip.  Rob was ruling it fast like with slappy feebles.  I was kinda just whatevs.  Not ripping, not sucking.  I couldn’t crook the ledge though which bummed me out.  I had a new board and wheels though and my last board had a square tail pretty much so the board felt huge.   We played a game of SKATE that ended with Rob heckling everything we did (sore loser) and me squeezing out the victory over Jake.  At the end Rob and I tried a bunch of backside no comply bigspins.  Rob got one.  I came close, but didn’t land it.  Would have been cool to land a trick I’ve never done before.
