skate journal: short red curbs with ollie, but not many ollies ha ha (April 14, 2012)

It was a way nicer day out then they had said however it was sprinkling a little when we rolled out so we went to Red Curbs. It’s Ollie’s favorite spot anyways. I was really sore and realized I had forgotten to take a bunch of ibuprofen. Doh. I mostly did slappy tailslides. Tried a line of slappy front 50 back 180 out then switch noseslide on the next one. Kind of did it. Ollie was killing it. Did a line of front 180 off the curb cut, boardslide to fakie then fakie pop shove. He rules. And he loves pushing mongo. Ha. He also did his first manual that he ollied into, tons of back 180s and maybe even a nollie shove. He doesn’t skate a whole lot these days, but when he does it’s so fun to watch. I managed a slow hurricane on the curb which hyped me up. My legs were sore though and I pretty much gave up on the session. Oh, I had some new shoes I was breaking in too:

Lakai – Carlo. Seems like it might be a rad shoe once it gets a little more broken in.
