skate journal: The only dry spot in Longmont (Jan 2, 2010)

Posted in Colorado area skate photos, Skate Journal on January 4th, 2010 by corpo

Had to bring some boards to SOL and it seemed like a few people were down to make a trek to Longmont to skate.  Jason, Jake and I picked up Brian and met up with Fuzz at a fun school in Longmont.  Things were going well and everyone seemed to be having fun.  The ledge there was in good shape and it was great to see Brian trying tricks on it.  He got some front 50s all good.  Jake had some front 50s and front tails.  Jason was getting back 50s, front 50s, front noseslides, back noseslides.  I got some back crooks, back noseslide, front 50s, front 50 180.  We were trying various lines where you ollie over the brick sections and stuff.  It was fun.  Fuzz showed up late, but started killing it immediately.  A while later Bernie and crew showed up.  We were all hyped, but at the same time it seemed like the old guy crew kinda mellowed out once the young kids came in and started landing lots of tricks.  Jason ended up taking some photos with my camera.front 5 0Front 5-0 to no speed landing.  It also kinda looks like a switch front crooks.  Maybe that’s how they do it in Thrasher.poser of the monthThis must not be a make considering I never landed it.jake front tailJake prior to a front tail.After a bit I accepted a challenge from Jake for the first to get two 360 flips.  Winner gets a tall can.  Awesome.  Jake is new to this trick and I totally admire his drive to get it consistent.  Doesn’t mean I’m gonna let him win though.  Ha, it took me a long time to get to two, but we had fun.  After that I threw in a nollie treflip and a bad fakie treflip to round out my treflip training for the day.  I went back to skating the ledge and banks.  I got a run where I kickflipped a puddle, front 50’d the ledge, rode up a bank, ollied onto the brick and rode down it into a manual across the sidewalk.  Super fun.  That wore me out eventually and I just skated the ledge.  I couldn’t back 50 it so save my life.  I landed a couple, but they were horrible slow and disgusting.  I managed a front 50 back 180 which felt great and ended my session by dropping into the narrower brick wall in the back and doing a front noseslide whirly bird.  Awesome session.  I stopped and took a couple photos of Bernie almost getting a crazy trick.poser of the monthI think he would have landed this had I not told him he should get someone to film it.  My bad.beatMy shoes are looking beat, but they still feel great.

polejam airwalkGreg is a rad dude.  He’s got one of the worst anxiety issues I’ve ever seen, but he’s got a good heart and he calls it like it is.  Greg, I’m stoked for you.

rampyrampyHere it is, Rampy!  Skated it for an hour solo style after the kids went to sleep and had a blast.  Either relearned or did axle stalls to fakie for the first time.  Not sure if I’ve landed it before.  Also got a couple weak sauce front tails.  Fun times!
