skate journal: brief rampy solo then red curbs with matt (feb 2, 2015 day 33)

Posted in Skate Journal on February 3rd, 2015 by corpo

Before bringing India to ballet I hit Rampy for a bit to get warmed up. Continued to try and not do multiple setup tricks in a row. Which is funny because I’m pretty sure every trick I did would be considered a setup trick by most. Did something like back 50, boardslide, axle stall, front disaster, axle stall, crook jib, bail. Did a back hurricane and a tiny frontside ollie or two. Then went to red curbs on a night that didn’t feel as cool as expected after the recent snow. Matt showed up shortly after me. I had already cruised around the spot and done a bunch of 50s both ways enjoying how good wide trucks grind. It felt like I was cheating. I had a decent night of skating. I was skating somewhat hard at least. Trying lines, getting more comfy on the bigger board. Did quite a few basic flippers, a front lip, slappy crooks, slappy crooks fakie, no comply over the rock, geez, maybe I didn’t do much. I didn’t do a treflip, fakie nosegrind, front nosegrind, back hurricane. Matt did one million textbook treflips, front 5-0 180 out, front tail to fakie,fakie front tail to fakie, switch front 50 switch 180 out, switch back 50 (after a really good slam) and a lot more. Pretty fun night.
