Crazy how quickly the snow melts off the streets in the spring eh?  After a long ass day of tiling I grabbed my board and went out for a few minutes.  I pretty much sucked, but wasn’t expecting much.  The only surprise was a second try heelflip.  Cupsoles are sick for heel tricks.  Hyped I can actually skate without much foot pain.

A blizzard outside, but inside Rampy is nice and warm.  After a long day of working from home, playing with the kids and working on the shower I went out to try something I’ve never done before – 10 different tricks in one run.  Knowing me that means about 20 rock fakie/tail stalls as well so it’s a long run.  I got to 9 like 5 times and I would be dead at the end of that.  I had a rule going where if I did less than six different tricks I had to do two kickflips on flat.  Fun.  My foot isn’t hurting so much anymore.  I probably would have gotten to 10 quickly, but one of the biggest problems was frontside 50s decided to be mean to me and I would slam often.  I guess I can blame it on the cupsoles, but still.  Anyways I got a 10 trick run and was laying in the flat breathing when my work phone went off.  Ugh!

The Mighty LZA is killing it.  Our family smells from a lack of shower.

After a long night of playing dad, Null owner, home owner and husband Nate came of to skate Rampy around 10:30pm. I was wearing the cupsole Circa’s I freaked out and bought awhile ago for skating, then freaked out and said they feel like moonboots. I’m a shoe freak. Anyways, they are way broken in and I wanted to see how my foot felt skating in them. There was a few times when it felt awkward, but for the most part it was good. We both started out pretty slow and neither of us got new tricks. But we skated for a couple hours and it was fun. The two new tricks I was mainly working on were front d to back smith and front 5-0s. Didn’t get either. I was trying to learn the front 5-0s after doing a back axle stall to fakie then fakie back 50 to fakie. Only got that once maybe. We had fun for sure. I did a few kickflips on flat and the stiffer sold definitely took away some foot pain. Maybe I’ll be on the cupsole tip for a minute ..

Does this mean a Tyler Price Believe promo is next? Hope so!

Dinosaur Jr – Farm to be released on June 23rd!  I put a little countdown on the right sidebar near the top.  I am beyond excited (pun intended) and most of my thoughts for the next three months will be about the album.  So if you randomly hear me talk about something weird, just assume it’s me thinking about the new Dinosaur Jr album.

Supersuckers – Pretty Fucked Up.

I updated to the new WordPress today so hopefully that internal server error will go away.  Now I’m just super scared to tough the Null skate site.  Dont’ fix what aint broken right?

Me drilling in the cement board.  Easily my least favorite part of this process so far. Can’t wait for this to be done.

Lots of stock tricks, but a good style and some serious bangers.
