skate journal: rampy at josh’s and some broomfield (aug 29, 2015 day 233)
Moved Rampy to Josh’s house for his surprise party with the help of my awesome friends Riley, Jack and Carleigh. It went pretty smooth and we got it together pretty quick. Josh had no idea it was showing up at his house. So funny. After the party hype died down I skated it for awhile. Didn’t do much other then a hurricane stall. Carleigh almost got a back blunt. Riley almost got front noseblunt rewind. Jack did a bunch of pressure flips. Josh was hyped and started feeling out his ramp.
Then we met up with Drew and a fun crew of former Nebraska residents at Broomfield park. I avoided ollieing for the most part. Had some fun ride on noseslides to 270 out and at the end I skated the weird steep bank and did my first frontside grind on it. It was rad seeing Drew skate again, he is casual yet powerful. The back tails on the steep bank and brick quarterpipe were so good. Carleigh and Riley skated the pool for awhile. The double set got attacked for awhile too. Lots of tricks like nollie flip, hard flip, fakie ollie, ollie, back lip, back smith, all da basics. I wish my body would have been in shape to try it, because the hype was high and I think I could maybe have committed to it. Oh well.
