skate journal: Longmont spots with Fuzz and Brian (Dec 13)

Headed to Longmont with Fuzz and Brian on a somewhat warm day in the 50s. We started out at a school with some weird banks. I wasn’t feeling motivated at all and just dorked aorund. Kinda sucked. Fuzz killed it though. We went to the Boulder ditch next. Somehow I had more motivation and ended up doing a backside nosegrind on it. Cool, never done that before. Then I filmed a tiny run that will be in my Off The Couch part. It involves leaves. Neat.

Headed up to Fort Collins with Nate, Brian and Jam. On the way there Jam did a R.I.P. to Turkey D griptape art for me. I’ll miss you Turkey D. Hopefully I’ll have a little memorial up on the site soon enough. Anyways, it was pretty cold and the motivation wasn’t super strong. We kept at it though. I got a couple ollies onto a bank. It’ll be impossible to describe, but basically I ollied out of a little bank onto a bank. Yippe. Brian did it way better. Brian bet me a beer that he would get a hurricane the jersey barrier before I could do a kickflip wallride on this bank to steeper bank, but the jerk did it first try and it was over. All in all a decently fun session, but the margaritas at the mexican joint after made for a super fun car ride home. Thanks for driving Nate!

skate journal: Rampy with Nate. So fun! (Dec 11)

Nate’s first time at Rampy. We were just getting warmed up when India opened the door and said Ollie threw up again. Ugh! We thought he had this crazy allergy to the masonite or something, but it’s looking like it’s probably just the flu.Anyways, after taking care of that Nate and I got back to skating and wow it ended up being really fun. It was the first time I’ve really sessioned it with someone else for more then a few minutes. By the end of the night I had landed a few tricks I’ve never done on tranny before – nollie pivot, nollie feeble and nollie axle stall to fakie. Nate did a first time ever tail stall backside revert. Other tricks I’ve landed on tranny before, but not on Rampy were front 50 and front disaster. Super fun night.
