The video clip is finally done.  Sorry I slacked for so long and sorry it’s not as funny as I promised with all the “cha ching” and score totals.  Oh well.

skate journal: Zuni park with Ollie and Sam (Aug 26, 2010)

Posted in Skate Journal on August 27th, 2010 by corpo

Needed to bring some Null goods to 303 and I got off work early so I brought Ollie and his buddy Sam to the Zuni park knowing there is a “kids” section and it would be fun for them.  It was really hot out, but no one was there really so we cruised around.  I was skating like total crap since I hadn’t got my old man nap after work and was really groggy.  Ollie took to ripping pretty quickly.  He did an accidental back 5-o on the little qpipe and then started trying them on purpose and landed everyone of them I saw him try.  If only he would stop pushing mongo.  Sam learned how to drop in and do rock fakies.  Those two had so much fun cruising around that park.  They would ride down the double 2 stairs, push, ride through the little bowl and then ollie into the grass and tumble down the hill.  Being a kid must rule.  Being old kinda sucks, I was stuck in a rut of trying a long line in which I would probably not even land on a good day: Ollie a little ledge, kickflip on flat, treflip on flat, ollie up the euro 5 stair, roll in to the 4 foot section.  Technically I did all the tricks, but definitely not in one line.  Ollieing up the 5 stair felt awesome and the roll in made me laugh for being afraid of it earlier on.  At the end of the session I tried back disasters for awhile on the tiny qpipe and landed a couple.  Rad, I’ve never done that trick before.  I followed it with a front feeble and we left.

skate journal: red curbs in august??? (Aug 25, 2010)

Posted in Skate Journal on August 27th, 2010 by corpo

Met Carleigh at Meta with the intention of skating campus after doing some business.  But instead Lazer and Jake showed up and suggested Red Curbs.  A covered parking garage on a perfect night?  So be it.  It ended up being fun of course, because when is Red Curbs not fun?  Lazer looked good with a shaved head and skated fast as usual and landed most tricks he tried.  Lipslides, tailslides, switch mannies.  Jake had lipslides too and was working on bluntslides and front 180 nose manuals.  Carleigh looked really tired again and although I thought she was landing most of her kickflips she said at the end of the session that she didn’t.  She may have got some mannies too.  I skated ok.  Was enjoying slappy front tails and trying front lips, but that trick hates me.  I tried back 5-o’s for awhile, but never got one.  Front 180 nose mannies were hard for me too, I got 1 out of 15.  At the end I finally got a manny to grind and then right as I got in my car I remembered I hadn’t landed a double flip yet so I tried one and landed what may have been my best double flip yet.  Sweet.
