skate journal: flatground in front of the house then the school with ollie for a bit (August 8, 2011)

Posted in Skate Journal on August 9th, 2011 by corpo

Was feeling really tired from an exhausting, but super fun weekend. In the midst of cleaning and watering the lawn I went out front and skated flatground for awhile. I wasn’t in the mood to bail tricks I normally land so I just hucked for awhile. Nollie f/s flips one way, sw f/s flips the other. Only got close to the nollie f/s flips, but not that close. After awhile Ollie came out and wanted to skate so we went across the street to the school.

This is the new long two across the street at the school. It’s got that new rough finish on it so it’s not as good as it should be. But either way we normally just do drop down to manuals and stuff. Ollie was skating way faster than normal and tried to ollie the gap a few times. He doesn’t seem to have the bail syndrome that I have, but he didn’t make it. Instead of slamming he would just manual the last foot or so. So sick. He also did back 180 the first, halfcab off the second. I was tired and tried to do drop down to manual or kickflip off the second, but it didn’t work.

We also checked out the new freshly painted curb. Some spots are gonna be perfection and are even kind of tall. Stoked! Ollie did his first back 180 up a curb and we called it a night.
