skate journal: snowy commerce city session with chadman (Dec 21, 2012)

chadmang 5-0

Hit 303 around 11, then met Chad at the snowy Commerce City park. I was able to skate for about an hour before needing to be home and head to my mom’s. The little ledges on the far side were dry. We skated those for awhile. Chad flipped in to frontside and backside 50s, back tail. I got way techer with front 5-0s being my techest trick. Almost got fakie nosegrind. We played on some other stuff for awhile. Chad had a super sick line with an ollie to fakie, halfcab tailslide (while nose grabbing) over the boob (seriously don’t know how to describe it, but it’s super scary looking) and probably some other trick that was super gnarly. I got a tiny back 50 on the qp and an even tinier f/s ollie. One of the flat banks was open. Chad did the MJ casper trick on it. I did a b/s flip and then ollied off of the thing Chad 5-0’d above which seemed tall to me. We did some gaps on the top benches, but there was snow all over so we were pretty limited. Chad did manual kickflip out easy. I did a front shove off the bench and a kickflip. Chad did nollie nose manny (maybe nollie flip out?? I forget). Chad rules. Fun session considering how snowy it was and stuff. Oh yeah, forgot to mention I tried about a hundred 3 flips. Landed on most, but only rode away from a couple.

skate journal: Rampy dust fest with friends (Dec 20, 2012)

Posted in Skate Journal on December 27th, 2012 by corpo

This is some of the longest I’ve gone before updating my journal so this entry will be blunt. Which doesn’t mean that there wasn’t any blunts, because there was. And although the dust kicked in and you would think we were smoking blunts, that was not the case.

Connor front 5-0 to fakie

Connor came with Fuzz and held it down pretty hard. Fuzz and I don’t understand how he can have so many tricks. This was a front 5-0 to fakie. He did miss a first try boneless though like he said he would do.

feebs fake

In between pouting over a bad joke Carleigh did some tricks like feeble fakie and front d.

jake piv fake

Jake didn’t have his best performance, but it was still a double double. Pivot fakie and gave the pool coping it’s first nose pick.

tail stall nose grab tail stall

Fuzz was in good spirits. Fakie tail stall nose yank back to tail stall. Ha. He did it to fakie pivot too. Lots of other tricks.

Brian left before the phone photos started, but he would somehow grind the coping a little and do blunts to fakie that were as close to hanging up as possible.

I had a very uninspired session. The crappy pool coping is taking it’s toll on my motivation to skate Rampy. I had a couple ok runs for me. Got a front d revert. Came close to a lien boneless to tail thing.
