skate journal: Research Center / FFFFF with TF (Nov 27, 2013)

After a hectic short day at work I met up with Neil, Brett, Rob and Carleigh at the Research Center. We started at the manny pad. Neil had manny and nose manny quick. Rob too, and he added a manny drop to manny. I never got a manny. Brett had a bunch of no complies up, 180s, and all too naturally acted like he had tourettes. Then I started skating down the hill again trying tricks. My flatground game was not on though. I landed quite a few of my tricks, but they didn’t come easy. I cracked my tail pretty bad on a 3 flip, but luckily the board was still skateable. I managed one line with fakie bigflip, front shove, heelflip. Geez, that’s it. Carleigh was doing front shove, kickflips and nollie 180s. Brett was on the 180 and no comply program. Rob manualled for a quarter of a mile and almost nose manualed that long too. Neil was ripping, I just didn’t seem to notice him and then I’d realize he made it all the way down the hill and would crooks the ledge. We ended on the ledge. I tried kick back 50s and failed. Carleigh had a good noseslide or too. Rob had some front noses. Then a CU cop game and told us not to skate there. Doh.
