Skate journal: fairplay park with Ollie (july 14, 2011)

Posted in Skate Journal on July 16th, 2011 by corpo

On the way up to my moms for the weekend and we stopped in fairplay to skate for awhile.  There was a few snow brohs there, but they were nice.   We cruised around for awhile warming up.  The outside of that park is fun, but probably just because its really bad.  I ended up having a little stretch of ok skating.  Kickflip off the wedge.   Ollie up one block and front 180 to the next.  Almost got a line of axle stall on the top qp, kickflip on flat, ollie the hip, front tail the brick qp then kick back t the bank to curb.  Couldn’t get the kick back tail though even though I got into it most tries.  I posed some other stuff too.  Ollie was cruising and all smiles.  He did front and back 180s BOTH WAYS over the hip.  So crazy.  The back 180 the hard way was even popped.  Back rock on the back to curb, front one off the kicker.  Kid rips.  This is another update from my phone.

I’m updating this from my phone while up in the mountains.  Hi tech yo.  Wednesday night ruled.  Fuzz, Dean, Brett, Jake met at my house and we left to meet Carleigh at St Julien.  Fuzz, Jake and I started with some basic lines and got slightly less basic.  First line was kickflip then fs 180 over the glorified curb.  Second was halfcab flip then back 180.  I don’t think I’m remembering this right.  We did front shove, no comply 180 then halfcab.  My halfcab was horrible.  Heelflip then something.  We kickflipped it too.  Fuzz and I struggled at fakie bigflips and couldn’t follow them with shoves.  Everyone was having fun.  Dean was ripping.  Brett had some side pain and still skated.  Carleigh was quiet and seemed on a different mission then us.  Jake and Brett had cracked their boards before we moved on to the nearby boardslide ledge.  It was pretty crowded with pedestrians but we did it.  Carleigh got noseslide.  Brett got boardslide.  Dean and me too.  I also got a great run for me.  Kickflip up the curb, short crooks on the ledge, back 180 off, fakie bigflip on flat, front shove, then almost manual a section of sidewalk.  Fuzz did a sick boardslide to fakie and started going for front lip but broke his board clean in half.  It was hilarious.   We left after this.  Then we saw a biker showing off and endo into a rock.  It put fuzz and I on the ground in laughter.  Most of us went for a couple drinks after and that was a blast too.  Good times, good dudes.  Let’s do it again.
