skate journal: manny pad with bernie (sept 17, 2010)

Met Bernie at Mike’s Camera to go in and look at camera stuff.  Bernie bought a new bag and lens while I did nothing other than ask Bernie if I can try out his old camera bag.  Awesome.  Then we cruised over to the manny pad for the last few minutes of light.  Skating a manny pad with Bernie is a treat.  He ripped it.  Kickflip manny drop to manny for awhile on accident so kickflip out.  Fakie manual.  He was trying back 180 fakie manual, but didn’t get it.  I was having one of those days where I felt pretty stiff and old.  I didn’t land much, but came close to kickflip manual, nollie shove manny and nose manual back shove out.  I say “close” but that only means I got into manual. It was a nice mellow little friday session.
