Riley in the flow section. 7.3. @siouxer666 #nullskateboards #notinthenineclub
Picked up John then met Scotty, Riley, Nolan and Garret at the Erie park to get our Street League on! Warm up qualifiers were rough for me. Dyrdek wanted more hammers, but my body wasn’t able to ollie much. Part of the problem might have been new old shoes (Emerica Romero Laced) and new Bones soft bushings. They actually felt great though. I don’t remember much of anything at this point early on other then Riley was tearing it up as documented in the clip above. I should have wrote this journal entry as I really don’t remember much. There was a good stretch where everyone but me was talking and I was just trying to do a line with a front 50 on a regular ledge and it was killing me. Eventually others were skating. I finally got a front 50 on the ledge above the manual pad. John was doing switch noseslide to front nose and got a fakie front 50 fakie ollie out. Then a quarter pipe session ensued which I mostly filmed for awhile. Nolan was doing gnarly trick after trick and Riley did one heck of a front noseblunt slide. I actually joined after awhile and it was the funnest part of the day for me which is pretty odd. I tried a few “Working Mans” as Riley called them after Nolan did it first try. Basically a fakie hurricane. I never got it, but was close. Felt good to huck on tranny. Got a fakie back smith to fakie and a backside kickflip about 1/5 of the way up a 4 foot quarter pipe. Ha. That park is really fun, I should skate it more.
