skate journal: rock kickflips, flatground then darin’s ramp (feb 6, 2016 day 37)
Met Dave at this spot after driving around for awhile trying to find something dry. I we started with some did some kick turn warm ups and stuff before settling on some tricks to try. I was set on rock ‘n roll kickflip out. Dave was doing fakie front shove. We did them. We filmed them. Dave added a popped ollie after and I added a no pop 180 over the snow gap. We filmed each other. It was cool. Dave had to split out and I decided to try the rock ‘n roll kickflip some more as a challenge to Josh in the game. Fun. Although I did bruise the harch of my back foot on some of the failed attempts that didn’t flip all of the way.
Then I found this perfect section of concrete and played around for awhile. I tried to skate faster which made tricks harder and I didn’t get too far on the list. I couldn’t do a 360 flip or nollie tre. It was mostly fun though.
Then I met Fuzz and a bunch of others at Darin’s ramp. I was pretty sore and tired and unmotivated. I had a decent first run and added a weak front feeble as a new one there. Others were ripping. Justin did a blunt kickflip to fakie. CJ had 20 minute runs with every trick looking perfect and learned blunt kickflip to fakie at the very end. Austin’s back d’s look like Grant Taylor’s back ds. Fuzz’s halfcab back blunt first try ruled. Darin did the longest back tail I’ve seen him do. Adam pops blunt to fakie higher then anyone.
