skate journal: broomfield park with matt, rob and fullertron (March 27, 2014)

Posted in Skate Journal on March 28th, 2014 by corpo

It was insanely windy in Boulder as Matt and I left to meet up with Rob and Dave. But not so bad at Broomfield. There was a big game of SKATE going on the quartapotty so I had to find somewhere else to warm up. Doh. We were all at the top mostly. Rob was trying to manual out of the bank to the hump to the wallride. He got really close. Fuller was doing steezy backside ollies and really good qp tricks on the brick qp. Front smith, cab pivot. Matt was ollieing the little rail, back tailing the black ledge, lipsliding the little rail, all kinds of tricks that are easy for him that the rest of us couldn’t do. Rob and I played a game of SKATE. He got me with some no comply tricks at the start, then I got him with flippers at the end. Everyone was kind of doing their own thing. Matt did a fakie 5-0 first try and then did switch back 50 before I could do regular back 50 (or kickflip back 50). I got a front 50 shove that felt good, almost front 5-0 shove, treflip, nollie treflip!. Rob pulled out a three trick line. He’s getting it back! Dave did a low to high pivot. We were tired. Rob and Dave left and Matt and I went to maybe skate more. He did a treflip. So did I! We called it.

skate journal: parking block session with rob (march 26, 2014)

Rob and I met on a very windy night at the Valmont garage and mostly just did slappies for an hour or so. It was mellow and fun. I got quite a few for me. Slappy crooks, crooks fakie, feeble transfer. At the end learned a new one. Slappy crooks 270 out. Hyped! Rob had a nice slam on a back pivot attempt, sick feeble transfer real quick, almost a crazy no comply front slappy.

* insole note * the black sti lab insoles are the winning ticket!

skate journal: louisville park after 303 (march 25, 2014)

Posted in Skate Journal on March 28th, 2014 by corpo

After driving to 303 I didn’t have the energy for a downtown solo session so I headed towards home and stopped at Louisville. There were quite a few people there, but it worked. It’s been too long since the session for me to remember everything. I struggled on the bank to ledge, struggled with back or kick back 50s on the ledge. Managed to front 50 the taller ledge pretty easily and try back 180s out. Got a back 5-0 (grinded to a stop) with a front 180 out on the little ledge. Kickflip to fakie took a few tries. Bikers clogged up the snake run. At the end of the session I took a long time to get a 3 flip on flat then called it a night.

insole note * the black emerica leo ones also suck.
