skate journal: quick bear creek session with Nate (Nov 25, 2009)

Got out of a frustrating day of work early for the Holiday and felt like skating the plastic benches at Bear Creek before leaving for my parents.  It was colder than I thought out, but warming up didn’t take too incredibly long.  Nate took a long time to meet up and I had already gotten front 50s and crooks and remembered why I didn’t like those benches so much.  They are so weird.  I’m not sure how to describe it other than they are weird.  They aren’t tall, just weird.  I managed one fun of front 50 180 out, halfcab flip, front 180 a crack gap then fakie ollie into a mellow mellow bank.   Shortly after this I slammed insanely hard manualling down the bank when my wheel caught in a crack.  Ouch.   Thus the start of my knee not having much skin.Right after that I got a call for work and had to split.  I decided a quick game of SKATE was in order.  It ended up not only being a long game, but an insanely awesome game that had both of us landing tricks like fakie 360 flip, 360 flip, heelflip, fakie bigflip, f/s halfcab flip, etc.  Nate got some goodies like nollie 360 flip, switch flip, switch heelflip, something and a nollie varial flip to win it.  He had SKAT too though off tricks like fakie heelflip, b/s flip and a couple more I can’t remember.  Good game.  Work sucks.
