Got out of work pretty early, wasn’t really feeling up to street skating after a nap and it was raining anyway. So I dug Rampy out of the garage sale mess and found different homes for a bunch of unwanted junk. I was super hyped. It’s been since the end of February since it’s been skated. Warming up went ok. I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. Tricks that felt good to do again where fakie pivot fakie, fakie Joe Hamilton, front disasters almost every try. If I bailed on a setup trick I would attempt nollie flips in flat (none were remotely close). After awhile I was bummed on bailing the basics and started posing tricks. I wanted to do front 50 to front lip for whatever reason. Gave up on that one. Then thought of kickflip front disasters and posed about 20 straight. None close, but they felt doable on something mellower. I figured I should try at least one old man trick too so I tried those frontside lein to tail things with a the front foot on the deck. Riley does them hella good. I don’t know what they are called. I ended up getting one where the tail never left the deck so I’m claimnig I did a sweeper. I was really hyped though. I have never tried anything like that. I got another one but my board was kind of in the air and it went really slow. Still, it was at least a trick I don’t normally try and something that might show my age a little. By the end I was a sweaty mess, it was super hot in there. Fun though!
