skate journal: valmont with carleigh (July 28, 2011)

Was super tired after my first day back at work then some tough conversations with my mom. Ugh. I feel so bad for her. I did manage to go skating for a bit though and Carleigh joined. We played a warm up game of SKATE where I started off really bad then came back and made sure a girl didn’t beat me. Ha, just kidding of course. Carleigh, you gotta get those fakie bigspins or your gonna get a letter every game! I landed a few crooks on the ledge and some back 50s. Backed up a couple with treflips. Tried front tails for a long time and got a super lame one. Carleigh mostly skated flat for awhile. We tried lines of ollie a crack gap then trick on the ledge. She got noseslide. I didn’t get front 50. Doh. I put some 2x4s on the cracks to make the crack gap feel bigger. It felt a lot bigger. We both ended up getting it though. I was so tired on the drive home I almost fell asleep. Doh.
