After a nice relaxing Sunday I finally got out to skate with Nate around 8pm.  It was raining so we went to red curbs.  My warmup period wasn’t quite as long as normal and my legs felt decent and Nate was killing it as usual.  Pretty quickly on I landed a trick I’ve been trying for awhile, manual then right at the end put it in rock then lift up out of the manual.  Rad.  I ended up getting it several times and even backed it up with a wallie over the rock once.  I came the closest to nollie flips I have in awhile.  Gotta remember to keep trying that one.  I then tried a run over and over having troubles with the first trick, but eventually landed it.  Fakie bigflip, no comply front shove, nose manual, crooks.  The crooks was just a bonus.  Pretty hyped on the run though.  Then Nate started trying power slides over the waxed part of the manny pad.  I’ve never tried something like that before.  Nate got on me to do it and eventually somehow the stars aligned right and I landed it.  SO FUN.  That’s two new tricks in one day for me.  Unheard of.  I topped the session off with the best lipslide I’ve ever done and lost in a tired game of SKATE to Nate.  One of the best times I’ve had skating in awhile.
