Gonz rules.

Ollie had been skating Rampy basically all Saturday and Sunday with his friends. After dinner I decided I should get a little session in and he joined me to show off his new moves. He did lots of halfcab rock fakies, willy grind, fakie ollies, body varial (at the top of the tranny now), fakie b/s pivots, backside slasher grind and started trying back 50s. He never got one, but he was close to back feebles. I was hurting from a rager of a night with the Might LZA and didn’t expect much from myself. I managed a couple front feebles and front tails amongst some other tricks I should be able to do better.

Cold and snowy on a Saturday. UGH! So sick of winter. Anyways I got up kinda early feeling better than the last few days. Ollie had been bugging me for a new deck and showing me his totally chipped deck. I told him he had to land a new trick on Rampy before I’d give him a board. We went out there and he was ripping. He’s done rock ‘n rolls elsewhere, but not Rampy. He did a few of those, learned willy grinds and did a bunch of half cab rocks. Guess he earned the new board. I wasn’t skating too well, but had fun. Got a front feeble or too and came close to hurricanes.Later on we hit Red Curbs. As soon as we got there it seemed much colder than we thought. Not only that, but the snow was blowing in and half the parking lot was wet. Ugh. The crew was Neil, Brian, Cheyenne Matt and the Daggers. Aka a mixture of Satellite/Meta dudes that happened to show up at the same time as us. Jason came and drank coffee, but said it was too cold to skate.Much to Brian’s delight the manny pad was one of the few dry obstacles. I don’t think anyone skated that great. Neil was in a t-shirt and yelling at his skateboard alot. Brian was standing around complaining about the cold. I would have liked to see him land that impossible lipslide. Matt was taking it easy and laying down some casual manuals. The Daggers were ripping. I was getting warmed up about the time we left. I’ve never quite got kickflip manuals across the whole pad. Still no. Winter sucks.
