skate journal:fun times at glenn close with jake, rob and saul (aug 7, 2019)
On a nice night I rolled across the street and met Rob, Jake, Saul. My first couple random slappies worked out fine. Front slappy, front crook, crook. But then I couldn’t do a regular slappy. Jake was already trying bluntslides. Saul was already on the 20 foot slappy tip. Jake would get the bluntslide, slappy crook shove, front slappy, front slappy 5-0. Saul has the best lines. Front slappy, long way around to a slappy, to another slappy on the rough part. Rob was killing it. First try slappy to no comply out, slappy crooks up to back 50, front slappy, front tail. Also lines with the curb cuts like no comply shove, bean plant. I was on the line tip too. I was happy to get first try kickflips off the curb cut both straight and to the parking lot. Front slappies were working well, I love that trick now. Managed to get a treflip straight off the curb cut after a front slappy. I tried backside flip out of the curb cut to parking lot for awhile. Kinda got a couple. Couldn’t get fakie flip straight out. Rob came close to back 50 no comply back 180 out. He also went hard with kick back 50. He got a sloppy one and came close to locking into several other ones. Rob was charging. We all seemed to be. Super fun session.
