skate journal: filmbot (Nov 7, 2010)

Posted in Skate Journal on November 8th, 2010 by corpo

Warmed up a tiny bit at the jersey barrier spot before turning into filmbot for the day. I was still feeling pretty sick and run down and didn’t have much motivation to skate myself. I did a few rock ‘n rolls and scratch grinds on the jersey barrier, some no comply 360s and some failed nollie tres. Then I filmed, filmed, filmed. One of the most productive days of filming I’ve had, but totally exhausting. I even slammed really hard at one point trying to use the Meta filming board and pushed off one of the wheels that sticks out. Ugh! Got a good swellbow from that.filmingfilmingmore filmingblame the filmerfilmed for daysdorkBut still managed to drop some awesome BGPs when possible.Go to Carleigh’s blog for more ..

skate journal: some manny pad action before filmer mode (Nov 6, 2010)

Feeling run down and sore in a fighting a cold kinda way, I met up with Jason early to skate the manny pad before filming Mikey. Carleigh joined us after awhile as it took Mikey a long time to arrive. Jason and I took a long time to land tricks. Jason rarily gets nose mannies, but he put down a bunch of them. It was cool. He also did a really smooth halfcab manny back 180 out. So good. I took forever to get nose manny shove out, but when I did it felt great. I also got a couple kickflip mannies, failed at nollie shove mannies for awhile, got front shove, fakie big up the curb. Ended it with a first every fakie bigflip up the curb. Carleigh put down a few mannies too. Mikey showed up and after a bit of playing around we went out filming.Mikey beat himself up for the most part. But we had fun.

skate journal: flat in front of the house (Nov 5, 2010)

Feeling really run down I should have taken a nap before going to the Nuggets game. Instead I watched Cory Kennedy’s Sasquatch part, got hyped and went out and skated flat. I had thought of trying a line of switch front 180, double flip, backside flip. After some warm up kickflips and whatnot I went for the line. Somehow it happened real quick. Like 4 tries. The double flip was really bad, but whatevs. After that I went for treflip than nollie treflip. Got that one too. Then it was time to go.
