skate journal: Super fun Rampy session with Brian, Nate, Lazer, Jason (Dec 30, 2009)
Quite possibly the dumbest griptape job of all time, but I totally love it. I started off attempting to make some type of artsy mosiac then came up with this. Awesome.Brian, Lazer, Jason and Nate all came over a little after 7pm and we hung out for a bit while Nate setup a board before we skated Rampy. We started out with a somewhat organized game of SK8 that involved me giving everyone a letter on back 50 to fakie. Even Jason. Blew me away. Ha, it was over quick though and everyone was having fun. For some reason Rampy was super slick and Jason was slamming hard a lot. He ended up leaving because he hurt a finger. Nate was tearing it up for him. Totally awesome sketchy crazy combos. Brian did two frontside halfcab to backside rock ‘n rolls in one run. So sick. Lazer did every trick possible in two runs. I got a lot of my tricks pretty quick and when I went into my typical ramp funk about 15 minutes in started trying several of Brian’s fun looking front truck bash tricks. I ended up getting quite a few of them. Frontside front truck bash, frontside truck bash to fakie, frontside truck bash rodeo clown out (270) and eventually even a front truck bash to front rock. So stoked. those are the funnest tricks ever. I am officially in the Brian Ball ramp tricks fan club. Nate got a few of them too. backside nosebash to rock fakie, frontside nosebash to rock fakie all which were easier for him then just a regular frontside nosebash. Ha. I even got a line of backside nosebash, frontside nosebash, frontside nosebash to fakie then after a few tailstall/rock fakies I got a halfcab nosebash. So fun. In the mix somewhere I got more of my harder tricks within a few tries. Front 50 to front D to back smith, front 50 yank in first try, fakie pivot fakie and 20 or 30 rock fakies per run. Super fun session.
