skate journal: Steelyards (April 7)
Posted in Skate Journal on April 8th, 2009 by corpoPretty nice evening and I went out for what I thought would be a solo session at the Steelyards. I had the new Thermals album loaded on my mp3 player and I was playing it pretty loud. I thought it would be a mostly flip trick day, but my legs weren’t performing well and I kind 0f just tried to do difficult tricks like ollieing up a curb at speed. After awhile I put an ash tray after the curb and tried to ollie it about 100 times. I was just about to finally commit when the wind kicked in and messed with the speed. Ugh. I was at my car getting water and Nate called and showed up quickly. I finally ollied it after a few more tries. Yippee. I should be able to ollie stuff like that quicker. Either way though I’ve been working on my ollies and it felt good to get over something. I was working on switch front 180 manuals and fakie bigspins up the curb when the fuzz rolled up and gave us the boot. Doh.
