Excitement for Glimpse is high!

Got up at 5am since it was supposed to be 100 degrees and I wanted to try noseblunts without anyone around. Got to the Zuni park by 7am and after doing some basic qp tricks I laid into the noseblunt battle. It took about 30 minutes before I got one. The key being I got one! It felt pretty rad even though I clearly wasn’t posted up as proper as one can be. I expect nothing less from me. Ha. I was doing flat ground tricks for the most part between tries.

Then I skated the park for awhile and ended up having one of the most fun lines I’ve done in awhile. 360 flip on flat, back tail transfer a hip (far right background), came around and front tail transfer the main hip then got lucky with a kickfilp flyout. I ended by doing a bad kickflip on the main bank.

Went to Westy park to maybe try a front crook on the bottom ledge, but it didn’t work out. I got into a few, but never landed one. Got a few other basics before moving on to Safeway ledge where I tried front crooks or kick back 50 shove out for quite awhile in a motivated sweaty awesome little session. Got both to close. Landed a good kick back 5-0 on accident. Did a few more flippers. Then I went home and slept and slept.

Met up with Dave around 9am at the Dog Park. We were both hyped after watching the BATB9 championships. Warming up went alright. Dave was skating a small 8″ board. I was feeling pretty good landing quite a few of my normal tricks, but kind of stall on 360 flip once again. I would get it though and landed my first clean 360 flip in a long time. No hands down. It felt really good. Dave did a cab bigspin and got close to several more of them. But the crazy thing he was doing was getting super close to 360 flips. He got so close. I didn’t land much more then my basics, but I did get close to a lot and the 360 flip felt really fun.

Then after a Crisis run we went to Safeway ledge for another fun session. I actually got some clean back 50s! It’s been awhile. Blaine was doing the coolest no comply back 5-0s. Fuzz got close to back 50 back 180 out and did lots of other tricks. And got a cool line for The Stubborns. Dave got a sick nosegrind and landed a couple front crooks. And almost a line with back 50 180 out followed by switch 360 flip. I also got kick back 50, close to kick back tail, a not-dipped-enough front smith and probably some more tricks.

We got a @null_skateboards restock today and then went out skating! @corpoglenny in the heat of it all. True to the game and one of the best dudes out…hella. #companyownersthatskate

Blaine took off and we ended up lurking for a bit. We ended up at a nearby park ‘n ride. I did a horrible wallie nollie or two and then filmed Dave almost get a rad line. Off to another spot. Fuzz and I took some artsy shots of each other doing jersey barrier rides and then we skated a glorified curb in a tight spot. Fuzz had a nice manual, back 50 and front 50s. I got lucky with a first try crooks then couldn’t do one again and some slow front 50s before we got the boot. We were lurking some other spots when I got called for work. Fun day.
