skate journal: solo sol ramp (Dec 7, 2009)

Been sick and snowboarding so it’s been awhile.  Went to SOL after work in hopes of skating with Brian, Nate, John, Bernie and others.  Nate left the lights on so he couldn’t get out of Boulder.  Brian expanded on his excuse book.  Bernie worked late.  John was hurt.  Awesome.  I basically just hung out with John and skated flatground which ended up being pretty awesome in itself.  Got a treflip in a couple tries and rattled off most of my tricks.  I did skate the ramp a little bit, but man it’s hard.  When John was busy with customer’s I would take a run on the ramp then skate flat until I landed something.  My runs on the ramp were bad.  Basically axle stall, rock fakie, front slash, rock fakie, back 50 hang up because the coping is sticky.  I worked on Rick flips for awhile.  Got remotely close on a couple.  Did a couple fakie no comply finger flips (new trick!) and ended the session with 5 treflips in 6 tries.  Cool!
