skate journal: Half of Red Curbs with Nate (Feb 25, 2010)

My second time reaching 20 days of skating in a row this year. I really wanted to just sit on the couch with the family and watch the Lindbergh movie they were watching, but my legs felt decent and it was kinda warm out (35f). When I left my house I felt better than I have in awhile though and I ran the 5 feet to the car. I guess I had more hip in my hop or something.I pulled into Red Curbs at the same time Nate biked in.  It was mostly wet again.  All we could really skate is the manny pad, the ledge and a curb.  Wow, sounds awesome!  I had some motivational issues early on, but put them to rest and tried to skate hard.  I ended up skating harder than I have in awhile.  I would try manual tricks with a flipper after.  I think my best little run was probably a manual disaster then a 270 flip tic tac.  Ha.  Nate was getting his ledge tricks on and basic mannies back since he’s still getting used to the man sized setup.  I had the most fun trying trick up, trick off the manny pad.  I got kickflip up kickflip off, pop shove up kickflip off and a new one for me, pop shove up varial flip off.  I don’t think I’ve done varial flip off.  Maybe?  Oh well.  I tried to do it up the curb for awhile, but failed.  I also got backside 90 flip and fakie bigspin up the curb.  Pretty fun night.
