skate journal: street league with jack and carleigh (may 18, 2015 day 75)

Posted in Skate Journal on March 19th, 2015 by corpo

Whoa, I took off another day yesterday! That’s the 2nd day this year. Felt good to sit and do nothing. But back to business! Carleigh and Jack picked me up after Ollie and I were kicking the soccer ball to each other for awhile. It was a bit cool out, but humid and it felt good. At times it sprinkled a little, but not enough to interrupt skating. We were the only ones there which was so awesome. I struggled initially. Really bad. I don’t get why. I had a front 180 off a tier then halfcab noseslide that felt cool. Then it was slim pickings for quite awhile. I was sucking trying front 50s on the bump to ledge, but got a couple. Then put together a line I was really hyped on of b/s flip the bank, noseslide the ledge and drop into the bank then front 50 shove out the bump to ledge. I’ve wanted to do the 50 shove forever so that’s cool. Then I finally front 50’d the bump to kicker ledge thing in the middle of the park. Did a couple qp tricks at the end and finished with a fun line of ollie to fakie on the bank, switch front 180 into the lower bank, crooks the ledge, crappy b/s grind to fakie, switch noseslide. Rad! Jack was having stomach pains and lying down at times. But he would get up and rip. He did tricks like front tail 270 shove, front tail front heel out, front board a whole flat bar, ollie up to front 5-0 on the qp, boardslide 270 shove. Carleigh was tossing some mean back d’s on the qp. Did noseslide shove, noseslide on the bump to ledge, perfect b/s flip on a bank, ended with a front d on the qp.
