skate journal: rampy with carleigh (feb 22, 2012)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 23rd, 2012 by corpo

My arthritis has been really bad the last few days. My right ankle was pretty locked up. I was kinda bored and went out and swept/mopped Rampy then decided to hang up some boards I’ve been meaning to hang up. I started with the Lee Bender/Dinosaur Jr boards then grabbed some of my old favorites from the Null pile. During the process I decided I wanted to try skating and Carleigh wanted in. Neither of us exactly ripped it, but there was some highlights for us. Carleigh put down quite a few front slashers which are new for her. Almost got a line of feeble, feeble fakie then fakie feebles. That would have been pretty cool. For some reason she struggled with front d’s though. My highlight would be a first try front d to sugarcane like I’ve had the trick for years. I was unable to land it again though. Doh. I slammed pretty hard on a front feeble attempt and that trick felt foreign the rest of the night too. I put together a little line of back 50, back 50 fakie, tailstall, front smith, rock fakie, fakie hurricane, rock fakie, fakie pivot fakie. At the end I tried front tails for awhile and failed then backsmiths and did one that I wasn’t sure about, but Carleigh said it counted so we wrapped it up. Fun night, thanks for skating Carl.
