skate journal: rampy with india’s old board (March 2, 2014)
It’s a sunday so that must mean the weather is crap. 18 degrees. Yeap. I hibernated most of the day away then before dinner forced myself to go out on Rampy. Ollie and his friends had kinda trashed the ramp playing around in there so I was putting stuff away and came upon India’s old board. The original Null board from 2003 (only available in 7.5), Thunder lows and some kinda big wheels. I started playing around on it on flat. Kickflips were so easy. I skated the ramp awhile on my board. Then I settled into a routing of skating India’s board on flat then my board on the ramp where I basically just setup for a frontside ollie. I had a few that felt decent for me. On flat I started posing switch tres and they felt doable. Never got one, but landed with one foot on a couple times.
Went in for dinner, then came out again a little later after playing nerf guns with Ollie. Did a few more tricks on Rampy. Tried more switch tres on Indias board and felt close. Landed a front heel kind of. I probably shouldn’t have skated that little board because I really liked it. I did take a couple runs on the ramp with it. It didn’t feel so good on ramp.
