skate journal: blue skies again. with aki, dave and hosercam (jan 27, 2016 day 27)

Went to Blue Skies for lunch. Dave and I were there first. We both struggled for awhile awhile. Me especially. I couldn’t land anything. I got the camera out so Dave could do the switch front shove above. He did that and the nollie and Aki turned things up with the kickflip into the bank. It’s steeper then it looks. I’m impressed. I did have some ok faster ollies over the flat bar. Got a heelflip after one that cracked my tail really bad. After that we all kind of did our own thing. Dave was working on feebles off the end of the dragon rail. I did front shove off the drop. Aki did nollie back lip the flat bar then tried front 50s on the dragon rail. I have wanted to kickflip the dragon rail for a long time and it turned out that today was the day. I know it’s not big, but man it felt wonderful. So wonderful in fact that I was even happy most of the rest of the day at work. Ha.
