skate journal: Rampy with Nate (Feb 18, 2010)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 19th, 2010 by corpo

Tired and sore from yesterday’s marathon session. Nate showed up on a snowy night and we went to it. I was understandably lacking in the energy department and it showed. Nate was getting used to his new board and really hyped. Pretty early on he took the best spill on Rampy yet. Fakie tail stall to dive backwards over the short deck and into my wall. He cut up his hand a bit, but other than that he was fine. Whew. Right after that Nate got a front disaster revert which he had never done before. It was one of his patented “I’m not quite on this trick perfect so I’ll throw in a revert” moments and it was awesome. I did most of my tricks, but I was tired and they took more tries than normal. I got a couple more front feebles which felt awesome. Nate got a couple more tricks he’s never done before we called it quits. Front tail front revert and fakie front pivot to rock ‘n roll. Rad. Nate seems to be doing fine on the new 8″ board. I should probably take a day off from skating, but oh well.
