skate journal: warm morning at lafayette trying lots of noseblunts (june 17, 2016 day 169)

noseblunt bro

Got to Lafayette around 8am on a hot morning. Somehow no one else was there so I just had fun cruising around that park doing lines of axle stalls (ha). It was fun. I was supposed to work on a front noseblunt to disaster for the game of OLDFART. But I didn’t get to that very quickly. I didn’t really do anything noteworthy. Standard tricks I do at Lafayette like noseslide the little hubba, kickflip on the bank, front 50 the little ledge, etc. I eventually got into a routine where I would try a line of a flatground trick, ledge trick, ollie on the manhole hump and then try the noseblunt. It was fun. Didn’t get to far on the flipper list, struggled with front 5-0s. I have never tried a front noseblunt on transition before so it was pretty hard to get myself to commit. I eventually did though. I never rode away, but I got into a few. I was getting super late for work and decided to speed up the noseblunt attempts and only did them. I got really close several time. Brian and Square State showed up. That was rad seeing Brian. I got close a few more times, but had to leave since I was already late for work and 20 minutes away.
