skate journal: Rampy session with Lazer, Jake and Carleigh (Dec 2, 2009)

Winter Wednesday Night Rampy Session! Lazer and Carleigh arrived first and we did a few runs before Jake showed up. I offered Carleigh a new board if she could land a kickflip rock fakie on her first run. She didn’t. Lazer started off quick as usual and wanted to introduce Sweepers to Rampy. It took at least a whole 5 minutes before he landed a couple. Must be nice to be able to just rattle off tricks like that. I thought Carleigh and I were going to have a blog battle over all the tricks that Lazer did, but apparently she just opted out with this. Ha. Anyways, here’s my attempt at listing Lazer’s tricks minus the setup tricks which he never does anyway. Fully decked front rock (wheels past the deck), frontside sweeper, blunt to fakie, blunt indie yank in, front pivot indie yank in, front pivot indie yank in to fakie, frontside ollie, front tail, front lip, back lip, back tail, front smith, back smith, front 50 fakie, beanplant fakie, front boneless, front feeble, fakie pop rock, full cab rock, feeble 270, boardslide 270, halfcab rock rewind, and probably 50 more tricks I can’t remember right now. Lazer rips. Carleigh and I are the best at getting into a trick and bailing. At least she normally falls instead of just walking out like me. Anyways, she tried a ton of front disasters and got really close, but no cigar. She made up for it with an out of the blue textbook kickflip rock fakie. Jake was ripping as usual. He hypes the session because he tries a lot of hard stuff and lands it. Tricks you wouldn’t think Jake could put down so quick. He pretty much did all the tricks I’ve seen him do on Rampy and added 5-0’s to fakie. I started off skating horribly, but had a good session. I got a front crail slash thing. Not sure I went to tail, but it’s a start. Toward the end of the session Jake and I raced to new tricks. He was doing nosepick stalefish yank in and i was trying front 50 yank in. Wow, my trick sounds so lame compared to Jake’s. We both got our tricks though and celebrated by having a couple drink while watching Turd Merchants Of Death at Lazer’s. Awesome.
