I plan on entering the game of SKATE. What’s the chances I get pink slipped in the first round? 100 percent.Both these contests have Null goods as prizes. Can you think of any possible reason greater than that to enter? Me neither.

I hope Ollie or India does this

skate journal: shouldn’t have even tried to skate (May 4)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 5th, 2009 by corpo

Really tired and run down, but felt like I should go do some flippers so I don’t get pink slipped in round one of SKATE on Saturday.  If I skate like it did just now I will hopefully be the laughing stock of the entire world.  The only remotely decent thing was landing on 360 flips as I still haven’t really done that trick much since hurting my foot in March.

Minus the stupid way over done logo at the start this looks radical.

skate journal: Longmont park with Nate (May 3)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 4th, 2009 by corpo

New shoes.  Can’t deal with having the Herman’s that are too small for me.After one of the funnest days ever going to the Nuggets game with Ollie and my parents I had to go to Longmont to pickup the phone from work.  I went around 8 and picked up Nate on the way.  It was raining/wet/sprinkling all the way to the park which had some puddles, but was mostly dry.  And no one was there!  We started out on the mellow bank as it was the driest and ended up staying there for awhile doing flip tricks.  Nate threw done a lot of tech ones.  I was happy with a few first try tricks like fakie varial flip, halfcab flip and maybe another one.  Tricks that I was hyped on were a fakie treflip and a first time fakie bigspin flip. Now if only I could do these on steep walls.Then we kinda skated some other stuff.  Some ollies over the hips and whatnot.  The main ledge was wet so we didn’t skate that.  At the end we tried to 50 the long C ledge.  Nate got close.  Then we started a game of SKATE that ended early due to the lights shuttig off.  I got a treflip first try.  Sweet!

skate journal: another rainy saturday at red curbs (may 2)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 4th, 2009 by corpo

6th Saturday in a row of crappy weather.  Went to red curbs with Jason, Brian, Neil, Rob and Nate.  Warming up went ok.  Can’t think of anything special that went down.  Then we busted out Rob’s box that he brought.  It’s so funny, it’s basically the height of red curbs with angle iron.  In other words a blast.  Nate killed it with like 20 tricks.  I hadn’t done a nosegrind in a long time, but landed one, then two, .. then Neil and I did double nosegrinds (his was backside).  So fun.  After that my tiny shoes started hurting my feet and I had to sit for awhile.  I ended up trying to play a game of skate with Rob and Nate and man that went bad.  I think I won, but it was brutal.  Can’t wear those shoes again.

NEW DINOSAUR JR SONG!! I WANT YOU TO KNOW

Posted in Dinosaur Jr is the greatest band ever, Music News on May 1st, 2009 by corpo

The greatest band in the world update their website with an mp3 from the forthcoming album Farm.  I only listened once because I’m weird like that.  Basically I don’t really want to hear the new songs until I hear them in the context of the new album.  Is that nerdy or what?  That being said the new song sounds excellent.  Sure it’s kinda mellow, but so are songs like Thumb and Get Me that are some of Dinosaur Jr’s finest.
