This ramp makes Rampy look big

Still looks fun though.

skate journal: solo Rampy dork around (Dec 1, 2009)

I had way too much energy after a frustrating night of fatherhood.  Would have liked to have skated outside, but it was cold and snowing.  Went out to Rampy and started off having the worst time, super angry and bummed.  Not sure why, but it sucked.  I had put Pissed Jeans on the boombox and I don’t think it helped.  After awhile I gave up skating Rampy and just kinda tried switch flips hardly moving for awhile.  I landed on one that would have counted on defense in an over 50 game of SKATE, but since I have such a high standard for myself (total joke duh) I didn’t count it.  I got back into the mix of the ramp and after putting on Farm things got better.  I’ve never really intentionally tried to do from smith stalls before, but apparently they are easy as I did almost everyone of them.  I tried a few runs where I don’t setup as much as normal.  Axle stall, front disaster, rock fakie, Joe Hamilton.  The Joe Hamilton on ledges is front 50 to front board.  But on ramps it’s fakie front axle stall to rock to fakie.  I have never committed to rotating that way before.  I got close, but never rode away.  Another silly trick/run I did was back 50 to fakie followed by fakie rock revert.  Or maybe it’s a switch rock ‘n roll.  But I’m pretty sure I do it bad enough that it doesn’t look switch at all.  To end the session I did a few 360 flips on flat not moving.   None of them were landed well and I don’t think I’ve ever landed a stationary one before.  Which is kinda funny considering how slow I can skate.
