J Mascis – "Every Morning" feat. Fred Armisen from Funny Or Die

Ha ha, J Mascis rules. The new album rules. This video is hilarious. And if you don’t know the “J Mascis is god” reference you obviously aren’t from the 90s.

skate journal: brief lafayette park dodging the rain (Aug 28, 2014)

Went to Lafayette park after seeing my Dr about Pink Eye. Ugh. Felt pretty odd trying to get warmed up. But settled into a fun loop of front 50 or front 5-0 on the little ledge then a frontside ollie on the manhole hump then just kinda whatever next. Kickflip on the flat bank, axle stall on the tight qp, something. Then Liz called and said I had my timeframes wrong and I needed to get home to watch Ollie. Doh.

skate journal: brief research ledge then red curbs because of rain again (aug 27, 2014)

Went to meet Rob at Research Ledge and it started sprinkling as I got there. I did couple noseslides and noseslide shoves (kind of) when Rob showed up skeptical of getting his new board wet. He cruised the hill once, I did a crooks and then the rain became too much.

So we went to Red Curbs for a pretty solid session with the exception of me not being able to land treflips and Rob having troubles with nose manuals. I got a couple slow kick back tails, a front lip, front 5-0 180 out, slappy crooks to fakie followed by a varial flip slam that made me laugh. Rob has slappy crooks down so good now. He had a bunch of them. Halfcab board to fakie, lap over lipslides, fast back 50s, bigspin front nose. A couple other dudes came and we skated with them for awhile. They were good. So good that one of them gave me advice on how to ollie higher. Suck up them legs! Ha, as if I didn’t already know I suck at ollies. Everyone left and I stayed there doing front smiths one way and trying hardflips the other. I would love the make hardflip my new flip trick for August. Time is ticking!
