skate journal: Red Curbs with Little Weiners (Feb 5, 2011)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 6th, 2011 by corpo

The snow almost held off long enough to skate outside, but it didn’t. I picked up Jack, Max, Davis and Jacob at Meta and we went to Red Curbs. The snow had blown in and things were pretty wet so it wasn’t as open and awesome as normal. The nice thing about skating with young’ins is they don’t really care. Everyone skated kinda slow and tried to stay on the dry patches. Davis rattled off a bunch of ledge tricks on the taller curb. Jacob did manuals and dorked around as I guess he was really tired. Max tried a bunch of crazy tricks. Jack was hyped to skate again as it’s been awhile and he had the excited skater steez. The line with the fakie hurricane was awesome. I skated decent. Especially considering the last night. Tricks I was hyped on were kick back 50, fakie nosegrind on the ledge, crooks pretty consistently on the ledge, slappy lipslide that took a long time, front lip pulled to fakie on accident (for once I didn’t go over the corner to get into the lip). Fun session. Later on we went to the No Love clubhouse. I didn’t skate though, just watched Bernie’s video premiere then people rip the place.

skate journal: Quick Rampy session with Brian (Feb 4, 2011)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 6th, 2011 by corpo

After dinner and before going to Pete’s to see Black Dot’s (John’s band) I hit the garage for a bit before Brian showed up. I was landing my Rampy tricks pretty quickly and when I would bail I would try a different flip trick. Rarely landing any of the flippers, but having fun. Brian showed up about the time I had settled into trying front 5-0s to fakie. I’ve never done it before. Brian was dressed in a cute sweater and didn’t want to get it dirty so he was playing it conservative. It’s weird seeing Brian bail tricks instead of falling on his hip. He skated and had fun and encouraged me to finally get the front 5-0 to fakie before leaving. Rad!I wish I would have taken photos at Pete’s. The show was super fun and we raged hard.
