Jeff has been trying to get me to the No Love warehouse for quite some time. I guess it took another night of -10F to make it happen. After work I took a quick nap and piled in the TF bus with Neil, Brian, Carleigh, John and Fuzz (oh and it’s possible a kid named Kyle joined us). Can you believe it, TF out on a week night? Awesome. We arrived all frozen from the lack of working heat in the bus to a somewhat crowded session. Warming up for me never really happened. At times I felt ok, but for the most part I felt awkward and disconnected from my board the entire night. Fuzz on the other hand killed it out of the gates. Stalefish from the flat bank to the wall qp, sugarcanes on the smaller qp, front tail on the electric box above the flat bank and front tail front 180 out which was ridiculous. Neil had his moves down quick. Carleigh skated about as good as I’ve ever seen her. She got a sick line of wallride, back 50 on the qp then back noseslide shove on the ledge. People were hyped and the ladies drinking on the sidelines were so hyped they were throwing peoples boards. Brian had some monster frontside alley oop wallrides, sick qp skills and an insane one footed frontside wallride. John ripped it. The no comply 270 back tail is a crowd pleaser everytime. Jeff was there destroying. He can do everything. Mikey went for two tricks over 4 hours and eventually got them. They were gnarly at least. Nollie b/s bigpsin and frontside flip from the flat bank into the wallride qp. There were some other dudes there ripping too. Like I said I felt awkward, but I still had a blast. I’m pretty happy that my fear of crowds doesn’t prevent me from at least trying to skate anymore. I got a b/s flip on the flat bank that took way longer than it should have, but in all honesty the narrowness of the flat bank made it pretty hard. I also got some kickturns on the wall, a little backside grind to fakie on the qp and almost a front feeble grind on the qp.Once again, Carleigh took a bunch of photos so go here and check them out.I was also very excited to finally meet Andrew from No Love. We had a good time chatting about running companies and how we respect what each other is doing and how awesome skateboarding is. What a fun night and I can’t believe the TF was out past midnight.
