Skelly skated the ramp pretty good from the start.  We had a good time.  I didn’t get any new tricks, but managed to do every trick I’ve done on it before.  

Another cold and snowy day.  Felt like doing more than just skating a ramp so went to Woodward with Lazer, Brian and Jake.  Monico, Greg and Tyler were working/skating.  They got rid of the bowl and have a few ledges in the area.  It’s slippery as hell, but I felt like skating flat and some ledges so it worked out.  I can’t really say I had much fun, but I got a couple 360 flips, wallrides and a couple letters on Tyler in SKATE.  Probably wont go back there anytime soon.  Brian only skated about 15 minutes total.  You could say he hated it.

Skated for about 30 minutes with a goal of landing a fakie back axle stall to fakie.  Warming up wasn’t as bad as normal.  It took me awhile to get a fakie back axle stall.  But once I got that I started trying it to fakie and after quite a few attempts landed a few.  Rad. 

Skated Rampy with Ollie for awhile and totally completely sucked. Seriously couldn’t land anything.Nate came over later and we ended up skating for about 3 hours and had a blast. Nate’s new trick was a fakie front smith stall to fakie. Sick. I was hyped on a few tricks like front 50, back nosegrind, back 50s to fakie happening easily. Didn’t land an entirely new trick for me, but new tricks on Rampy were fakie front 50 stall, fakie front 5-0 stall, back smith stall and surprisingly, FRONT SMITHS! The first one was the best. They kinda went downhill after that, but I’m hyped either way.

Headed to Longmont with Fuzz and Brian on a somewhat warm day in the 50s. We started out at a school with some weird banks. I wasn’t feeling motivated at all and just dorked aorund. Kinda sucked. Fuzz killed it though. We went to the Boulder ditch next. Somehow I had more motivation and ended up doing a backside nosegrind on it. Cool, never done that before. Then I filmed a tiny run that will be in my Off The Couch part. It involves leaves. Neat.

Headed up to Fort Collins with Nate, Brian and Jam. On the way there Jam did a R.I.P. to Turkey D griptape art for me. I’ll miss you Turkey D. Hopefully I’ll have a little memorial up on the site soon enough. Anyways, it was pretty cold and the motivation wasn’t super strong. We kept at it though. I got a couple ollies onto a bank. It’ll be impossible to describe, but basically I ollied out of a little bank onto a bank. Yippe. Brian did it way better. Brian bet me a beer that he would get a hurricane the jersey barrier before I could do a kickflip wallride on this bank to steeper bank, but the jerk did it first try and it was over. All in all a decently fun session, but the margaritas at the mexican joint after made for a super fun car ride home. Thanks for driving Nate!

Nate’s first time at Rampy. We were just getting warmed up when India opened the door and said Ollie threw up again. Ugh! We thought he had this crazy allergy to the masonite or something, but it’s looking like it’s probably just the flu.Anyways, after taking care of that Nate and I got back to skating and wow it ended up being really fun. It was the first time I’ve really sessioned it with someone else for more then a few minutes. By the end of the night I had landed a few tricks I’ve never done on tranny before – nollie pivot, nollie feeble and nollie axle stall to fakie. Nate did a first time ever tail stall backside revert. Other tricks I’ve landed on tranny before, but not on Rampy were front 50 and front disaster. Super fun night.

Skated rampy for about 20 minutes with Lazer.  He killed it once again.  Totally killed it.  Lien air, back smith, fakie ollies, etc.  Dude rips it.  I got an axle stall to fakie and a first time nollie axle stall.  Rad.

Here 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!

Oh man, I’m so excited I can’t even begin to tell you.  It was dumping outside and I skated for an hour.  Man it was so fun.  I had installed a new light so you could actually see both sides decently.  The warm up time was minimal.  I finally got my fakie stall to fakie thing that I do, front slashes, etc.  Got way more consistent, was able to pump better and not look like such an idiot.  Seriously though, I’m too tall for the ramp, but I don’t care.  Started hucking some back tails, never got close but it was fun.  So insanely hyped on having my own ramp and hopefully finally learning how to skate tranny a bit.
