skate journal: Fullside with people then rip tranny (Feb 15, 2011)

Super tired from the Wavves show / Valentines Day date with Liz I met up with some people that are good at skating transitions and embarrassed myself for awhile.  Dave, Brian and Al ripped it.  I don’t even comprehend how they can do stuff so easily.  They all learned frontside halfcab disasters (with ollies).  I didn’t learn anything.  I did a front smith at one point and Dave said “that was a good smith” so maybe my smiths finally looks like smith grinds instead of slashes.  And I did a back 5-0 to fakie that Brian was hyped on so maybe I am making some baby steps on tranny.  Seriously though, those three ripped so hard.  I went home, took a nap then went to see SEBADOH!
