Go see more from Frank Zirbel, Psycho’s creator.

So many good parts this week, but the winner is this “lost” part of Ryan Gallant from the PJLWHL era. That video is my favorite video so to see a bunch of new clips from that era rules. I always loved Gallant’s part too and he has remained one of my favorites. Throw in a few unseen PJ tricks and you got the clip of the week.

Runner up is this Chris Joslin part that I’ve watched like 30 times already this week. It’s mind blowing to me and has that possessed skate rat quality that I love.

Then there is this insanity. Seriously all 3 of these parts are beyond amazing.

On a cool and rainy fall night I went to my favorite solo parking garage on Valmont. I started just rolling around doing wallies over the parking blocks and being happy that my achilles is letting me push again. It took awhile before I started trying kickflips and other flippers. I was 0-20 on treflips, but I blame not being able to jump. Something is wrong lately. I have no energy to jump. But I kept at it. I would try a bunch of flippers or slappy tricks then on the tiny curb would either try kick back tail or fakie flip front tail. After awhile I put the newspaper stand out and tried to ollie it. Failed, but committed. Skated around some more. Was feeling kind of down, then all of a sudden did one of the better lines of my life. Ollie the news stand, no comply front 180 and then landed my first ever fakie flip front tail. I rolled away (at 1mph) in disbelief and the stoke hit me. Gonna have to keep trying that one! That ended my session.

Ok who am I kidding, any skating I do would be considered ‘dorking around’ by anyone else. Took the top washer off my trucks just to see how loose they would be. They were too loose. I pushed around the school by my house, slammed on some back 180s and called it a day and put the top washer back on.

Picked up John then met Scotty, Riley, Nolan and Garret at the Erie park to get our Street League on! Warm up qualifiers were rough for me. Dyrdek wanted more hammers, but my body wasn’t able to ollie much. Part of the problem might have been new old shoes (Emerica Romero Laced) and new Bones soft bushings. They actually felt great though. I don’t remember much of anything at this point early on other then Riley was tearing it up as documented in the clip above. I should have wrote this journal entry as I really don’t remember much. There was a good stretch where everyone but me was talking and I was just trying to do a line with a front 50 on a regular ledge and it was killing me. Eventually others were skating. I finally got a front 50 on the ledge above the manual pad. John was doing switch noseslide to front nose and got a fakie front 50 fakie ollie out. Then a quarter pipe session ensued which I mostly filmed for awhile. Nolan was doing gnarly trick after trick and Riley did one heck of a front noseblunt slide. I actually joined after awhile and it was the funnest part of the day for me which is pretty odd. I tried a few “Working Mans” as Riley called them after Nolan did it first try. Basically a fakie hurricane. I never got it, but was close. Felt good to huck on tranny. Got a fakie back smith to fakie and a backside kickflip about 1/5 of the way up a 4 foot quarter pipe. Ha. That park is really fun, I should skate it more.
