3 cats and 1 steak

Jason is in love with this clip.  So funny that one cat basically eats the whole steak while the other two are in a dumb off pull contest.

skate journal: Denver spots with Ollie and his buddy Sam (May 15, 2010)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 16th, 2010 by corpo

Woke up late on a Saturday and had to get rolling quick to Denver to get India to the Tech Fair.  After a few hours at the Science Museum and a first place prize to India (seriously) I took Ollie and his buddy Sam skating instead of walking around the museum.  We went to a nearby loading dock banked area where I sucked it up.  Ollie was ripping though.  It’s basically a manual pad, but with banked edges and some hips.  I did some bad ollies in various ways which were way harder and worse than they should be.  Some manuals.  Ended it with a f/s halfcab flip on the mellow bank.  Ollie did a bunch of his little ollies and halfcabs into trannies.  He also did a nosegrab to flat that blew me away.  His buddy Sam was had fun too and even ate shit a couple times rolling into the bank.Then we drove around looking for some other spots.  We found a couple loading dock spots.  One I did a front board shove transfer on.  One I powerslid down and ruined my wheels.  Like completely destroyed them.  I wish the new Null wheels would be here already.  Oh well, I had an ok time.  My groin was hurting a bit all day though and I just plain felt awkward on a skateboard.

skate journal: More Red Curbs this time with Nate (May

Posted in Skate Journal on May 16th, 2010 by corpo

Got off work at a decent time and had less than an hour before India’s talent show.  It was raining of course (WTF is this weather?) so I met up with Nate and we shredded Red Curbs a bit before the parking emptied out.  Nate warmed up way quicker than me.  No surprise there.  We kinda started out on the 2 stair ledge initially.  Nate rattled off a couple basics then went to nollie back lip and kick back fail.  I started with a decent crooks then went to sw front board attempts for some reason.  Never landed one and questioned why I was even bothering with it.  Fakie nosegrinds were good to me again.  Got one first try on the ledge and another one on a red curb.   Not really sure what else went down.  We didn’t have much time.  I know flip tricks were still not being nice to me and Nate battled the kick back fail for quite some time.
