skate journal: snowy day short redder curbs (april 16, 2016 day 107)

Posted in Skate Journal on April 17th, 2016 by corpo

Another late spring snowstorm. This time of year is hard to get motivated to skate a parking garage. I went to Meta beforehand and got some softer bushings as I’ve been a little bummed on how stiff the 91a’s are. They felt good. Warming up somehow wasn’t too bad and I mostly tried some lines. Back 180 over a parking block, halfcab flip on flat, frontside slappy, front 50 over the parking blocks. Got a switch ollie or two over a parking block which felt neat. Got into a couple back tails, slappy feeble, kickflip over the parking block. Tried a line of switch 180 over a parking block, heelflip, slappy front crooks, but never got the heelflip. Doh. Got a few slappy front crooks that felt good (they felt so good until I saw the footage) and regular slappy crooks on the red curb. After awhile a car came and parked in the garage. They just sat their smoking weed. It was weird. They almost seemed to not even notice me. They were right in the middle of where I was skating. I tried a few flip tricks. I tried to not let them bother me, but it was just weird skating around a car with people sitting in it so I left. I was getting tired anyway.
