skate journal: post premiere fun (Oct 27, 2009)
A tired/hungover crew of TFers headed to the Westminster park after a late night of celebrating at the premiere. The crew was Jason, Jake, Fuzz, Brian, Lazer, Gordon and me. The first few minutes were pretty funny. Fuzz slammed so awkward trying to boardslide a ledge. It was like nothing I’ve seen him do before. He was trying to boardslide a ledge on top of a step up but his back foot didn’t even make it up the step up. It was hilarious. I tried a weird dork trick nose manny into someting on the qpipe and ended up doing the weirdest trick. Rock to nose manny to board to tail and somehow survived. After awhile I played a game of SKATE with Lazer that quickly turned into a game of SKATE with Lazer, Brian and Jake. Brian was out quick which I’ll blame on the hangover and Lazer quit so it was Jake and I. I got a 3 flip something else to close it off in the end.Then we went to Rock Creek. We played a huge game of SKATE. Well, since I easily suck the most on the ramp I believe by the end of it that I had spelled SKATEBOARDER MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL. It was fun for the most part, but it was definitely embarrassing and frustrating not being able to land any of the tricks. It was probably good for my ramp skating, but ugh, I suck at ramp. The only new tricks I got remotely close to were fakie rock to smith and the same thing regular.We ended it with a flip trick session and Jason did some kickflips for the first time in as long as I can remember. Fuzz got some hard heelflip variation. Front 180 heel and b/s halfcab heel. I got a couple 3 flips, heelflips and fakie bigflip. Couldn’t do nollie tre. Fun day for how beat we all were.
