Tony is the raddest dude.  He let 13 dudes stay at his place that he didn’t even know on a Null filming mission.  Seriously the best dude.This part is SICK!

skate journal: rampy warmup and more kicky back fail (sept 29, 2009)

Filming for a video straight sucks. Sometimes it’s cool filming stuff that’s hard, but going somewhere and trying a certain trick over and over seriously blows to me. I really wanted to land the kick back tail and be done though. If I get that trick my part can be done. I warmed up on Rampy waiting for Brian and John to show up and had fun. Did my best 5-0 to fakie and a stand up back nosegrind. Also did a new trick of feeble to back 50 to fakie. Totally dumb, but whatever. Started trying feeble to nosegrind and kinda got a horrible one. Then we went to the carwash. I was feeling so good at first. I did a rock ‘n roll first try and and axle stall in a few tries. I hadn’t even really tried those there before. The first few kick back tails were close. I was really feeling it and ready to commit. But it turned out that only the very first one got into back tail. I was so close time after time but the board never came into tail. My body was so ready and I thought I was gonna land it numerous times. But no. John got a sick back kickflip. My side started acting up and my left leg was pretty numb. I could barely push or do flatground kickflips. Ugh. I gave up peacefully after awhile. I know I can do it now, but it’s gonna be a different time. Hopefully my side pains go away.Some cheeseball thoughts I gotta remember next time I go back. John nailed it when he said I gotta crank my shoulders. It’s four hard pushes. Do some other warm up tricks again. Land that shit already.
