skate journal: sf day 2 all over SF (March 4, 2011)

Posted in Skate Journal on March 12th, 2011 by corpo

Believe it or not I was the last one to wake up and it threw me off big time.  I got ready as quick as I could and we all rolled to Eagle Donuts.  On the way back we hit up the first spot we found which was probably the hardest spot we could start with.Click on the photos to go to the complete coverage on Carleigh’s blog. Anyways we all struggled at this spot, but were hyped. Fuzz slammed hard a lot and we all felt bad. I think he was just so excited he couldn’t warm up. Nate, Fuzz and Joey got 50s on it. Joey is goofy (footed) and crooked it too. So sick. Neil and I tried to get on it, but it was pretty weird and we did nothing more then get into the grind and jump off immediately. Rob pulled out his patented slappy on the curb. Jason was ripping it too. I got into a few kick back tails on the curb, but never landed one. Neil had some rad nose manuals. Carleigh warmed up her sore back with some 180s up the curb. Nate ended the session with a back 50 from the 3 stair side. Sick!Next up we hit this granite ledge that Nate, Jason and I skated in the last few minutes of the last SF trip. It’s still amazing. We where there for a long time. Joey had some crazy moves. Back 180 nose grind to forward. Noseslide the flat bar to back 5-0 on the ledge (seriously). Nollie shove front 5-0. Probably a million more tricks. Nate did some amazing back 5-0s. Fuzz and I worked on crooks pop outs and got a couple. I got a tiny front crooks to fakie. Carleigh worked on varial heels on flat and front 50 shove out. Neil put down some 50s. Rob did the ol’ front nose 270 out. At the end I wanted to do a line of kick back 50 then crooks, but never got the kick 50. On to the next spot ..This spot is awesome. We hit it for awhile. Joey did a bunch of tricks. Pole jam fakie, body varial, alley oop wallride, one foot off, everything basically. Nate did f/s ollies. Carleigh had some good wallrides to fakie. Rob too. I did some low switch wallrides. Then we headed back to Gordon’s to get going to Lowcard.Joey killed this thing too. Blunt up to rock fakie on the extension, rock kickflip out on the extension, a million tricks. The crew was huge at this point. Gordon ripped it and has huge b/s airs. Rob from Lowcard skated for awhile too which was rad. Fuzz skated pretty good and almost got front noseblunt on the extension, but took some gnarly slams. Brian is one of the funnest people to watch skate a ramp. Lazer kills tranny. I sucked more then I should have. Only two tricks I was hyped on were front feeble on the pool coping (50 tries deep) and the little fakie smith fakie. After awhile I felt too tired to skate the ramp and just started doing flatground kickflips. After 25 in a row I stopped. Then we skated back which took a long long time and we stopped and skated a couple things like a long 4 stair. Such a great first day of skating. That night was fun too. Go to Carleigh’s blog and see it all.
