skate journal: lazy lafayette then darin’s ramp before dark (Aug 19, 2014)
Posted in Skate Journal on August 20th, 2014 by corpoWas going to meet Dave and Matt at Lafayette park originally, but after several phone calls / texts at the last minute it ended up being Jake and Matt I was meeting at Lafayette. Upon arrival I felt horrible. Like I shouldn’t even skate, just go home and sleep. I stood around as Jake ripped the little bowl and Matt flew out over tall cones. After awhile I started to get a tiny bit of juice. Did some slappy crooks on the slight bank to curb, then tried to line it out with a manual on the black ledge, but I dragged my tail every time. Oh well.
Then we went to Darin’s newly built ramp which is just as amazing as it looks in this photo by Matt. Fuzz, Darin and Brillo were there skating. Matt didn’t skate. Jake rips ramps and did lots of his tricks within a couple runs. Darin would do a few tricks and duck out. Brillo did a million steezy tricks and skated into the dark learning a f/s cab staple gun. Wowsers. I had fun and did several of my basics and think this might be my favorite ramp. Fuzz ripped, laughed and drank. Good times.
