skate journal: Lots of phone calls and some fun skating (Aug 5)

Had one of those days where you get a million phone calls trying to figure out where/when the skating is gonna happen. Nate had been raving about a new ledge he found with me via nerd computer chat all day so I was determined to meet up with him there. In addition the crew was Gabe, Jason, Neil and Rob. The ledge was ok, but sketchy with water on the other side, hornets, etc. I was ok skating, but others weren’t. Little Jack called and so we left to pick him up and skate around downtown. Nate had a soccer game so he was out. Downtown was fun for me, I like skating anything pretty much, but there was so much bitching again. Rob killed it at Wells Fargo. Manny, back 180, wallride, kickflip. Dude rips. We setup a trashcan on it’s side after a little bump and attempted tricks over it. I say ‘attempted’ because the only tricks that were landed were ollies and a no comply by Neil. I’m still having issues with the 8″. It’s way heavier, but more stable to ollie. I’ll get it. Over all, a fun night, kind of a weird vibe though.
