skate journal: Safeway ledge with Nate (April 10, 2010)

Posted in Skate Journal on April 11th, 2010 by corpo

What a day.  Woke up early and grouchy and never got out of the funk.  Went to the Llama farm with India for fix-it-up day.  I spent about 5 hours shoveling rocks and painting a barn.  Not fun and not easy on the body.  After a quick nap I picked up Nate and we went to the Safeway ledge.  It wasn’t in the best shape and I could tell Nate was feeling it initially.  I was sucking and totally exhausted.  After awhile we started to feel it though.  We hucked a bunch of tricks and landed some of them.  Nate did a first try nollie heel front nose jib.  I did a lot of tries kick back tail jib.  We put out a container to ollie over and Nate learned nosebonks then nosebonk front 180s.  So sick.  He did at least 20 180 nosebonks in a row.  I got a couple crooks, one back 50 that took forever, a couple front tails, a first try back 180 nosegrind jib and some fun and fast b/s noseslides.  I also tried a kick back 50 and accidently did a kick back 5-0 mongo push.  That was funny.  Nate got back smith, perfect back tail, back 180 nosegrind, and a bunch of fakie back tails.  He also nollie front 180’d the container thing.  So sick.  Both of us were tired and not skating our best, but it was fun.
