I work the early shift this week which means I have to be at work by 7:00am. \u00a0That’s wayyyy too early for me. \u00a0The one advantage is I get out early, but half the time I act old and go home and take a nap. \u00a0This time I picked John up and we went over near the bikepath bank. \u00a0We were skating the parking lot for awhile. \u00a0John was ripping out of the gates. \u00a0I was sucking. \u00a0BAD. \u00a0John ollied the parking block gap all easy and then we skated this huge snow gap. \u00a0Ok, so it was tiny. \u00a0John back 180’d it and followed it up with a sick run that included ollieing the parking block gap and a treflip. \u00a0I kickflipped the snow gap. \u00a0But it wasn’t no ordinary kickflip. \u00a0I took off too late so the nose hit the snow and it went flying. \u00a0Somehow I still landed the kickflip and it may go down as one of my favorites ever. \u00a0As John said, it was like a kickflip with fireworks. \u00a0We ended up getting kicked out so we moved over to the bank where Nate met us shortly.This is where I got real pissed. \u00a0The most pissed I’ve been at skating since the days of the kick back fail. \u00a0I don’t know what happened, but I could not even do ollies at all. \u00a0I was tripping. \u00a0Wanting to focus my board. \u00a0Being a drama queen. \u00a0It sucked. \u00a0Nate and John were ripping. \u00a0I eventually kinda got over it and just skated mellow, but man, I was bumming. \u00a0I think it was one of those I’ve-been-skating-too-much-and-I-am-burnt-out moments. \u00a0John did a bunch of 270 no complies onto the bank, frontside 270 ollies onto it, back 180 onto it, f\/s ollies, f\/s crailslide, amazing backside ollies and a nollie shove he stole from Nate. \u00a0Rad. \u00a0Nate did some ollies then moved on to pop shove fakie, nollie shove, nollie 270s, f\/s ollie over some snow then ollie back onto the bikepath etc. \u00a0My finest moment was a 2mph pop shove onto the bank only because I’ve never done it before and I did it pretty good. \u00a0I did have fun carving over some snow too. \u00a0My other tricks that took way too long were ollie up over some snow to f\/s ollie back to the bikepath, f\/s 180 onto the bank and ride in to fakie, kickflip over some snow onto the bank and b\/s and f\/s ollies. \u00a0Man, somedays I really suck on a skateboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
