Skate journal: hill bomb at the in laws (liz’s birthday)

Posted in Skate Journal on July 25th, 2011 by corpo

Had about 5 skate minutes to skate so ran to the top of Liz’s parents hill and pointed it.  I’ve done this hill before but wow I almost went down.  Two things have changed since the last time I did it.  First, the concrete was redone on half of it.  Second the super nullethanes are way faster than the old null wheels.  Man it was scary.  I ended up foot dragging once.  So when I got to the buttom i ran back up wanting to do it without a foot drag.  This time no  foot drag.  I almost went down way worse and the speed wobbles tried to get me.  So fun.  Whew.

Skate journal: boulder spots with bernie, dean, carleigh and fuzz (july 20, 2011)

Another phone entry trying to remember what happened in co when I’m in a different state (nullbraska) on a family vacation.  Bernie and I started at southern hills and played a warmup game of SKATE that went on a while and I evenly won.  It rained so we moved on.  Bernie skated a gnar ledge then we went to checkout another ledge but just skated over a cone.  Bernie bs flipped it first try.  It was a small cone.  I took a long time to back 180 it.  So lame.  Carleigh showed up and proceeded to slam nonstop.  I eventually rocket flipped over the cone.  Then we went to the new bikepath ledge where I crashed and couldn’t do anything.  Fuzz showed up as did julien.  Fuzz, julien and bernie ripped it.
