skate journal: Rampy yet again (Feb 24, 2012)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 26th, 2012 by corpo

I might be growing a little tired of only skating Rampy. I still love it, but am definitely wanting some variety. Oh well, I’m grateful for it and hyped to be skating a little. With the wind/weather changes going on my arthritis is pretty bad. Not demobilizing like it was, but enough to make me less coordinated then normal. With that said a short Friday session was in order and John, Chad Long and Carleigh showed up. John showed up way quicker then I thought and totally caught me nerding out to a Dinosaur Jr dvd. I was embarrassed, but he admitted I just sealed the deal as a bigger Dinosaur nerd then him. As if I had any doubt. Ha. Chad showed up too and the three of us went out there. John ripped it right away. He has the quickest feet. Rock ‘n roll, flat bottom revert, fakie rock. Crazy! He also did some b/s d’s, some funny slams and a b/s ollie above coping??!! It was Chad’s first visit to Rampy, but he did axle stall on the first wall and survived a few more walls. Chad has super good steez. He has the best f/s slashes without lifting up the front truck. Stoke he came. Carleigh showed up after John had already left and we skated awhile longer. She didn’t have a whole lot of energy, but had some good runs. I didn’t have a whole lot either. Couldn’t get hurricane, front feeb or front d to sugarcane. Posed a couple fakie f/s pivots to 270 out. No where close. Tried a few fakie crooks and posted up some decent ones without grinds. Had some better reg crooks then I’ve had in awhile. After the session I broke some rules and did a flatground kickflip. It got me hyped! Kickflip season is coming! I give it two more weeks max. Can’t wait!
