I needed to bring boards up to the Skateboard Market and a few others were interested in skating up there. We hit MRKT first then went right to the streets. We started out at a fun bacnk to ledge, but the heat was intense and the tar was all melted and sticky. No one really got much. We cruised over to a nearby alley\/ditch spot that we skated for a long time. Carleigh spent a long time working on a backside wallride and eventually got it. The rest of us skated the bank to ledge spot mostly. It took awhile for people to start getting used to it. Well, except for Fuzz of course. He did a bunch of tricks like front tail 180 out, front pivot 180 out, blunt pivot, nosepick, stailpick, etc. He’s good. I took a long time to get a back axle stall, but got a couple of those. Also got boardslide, noseslide and a roll in that was way harder for me than anyone else and I almost rolled my ankle on the first commit that I slammed on. Neat. Oh I also hucked an alley oop kickflip 360 that I’ll count as a 360 kickflip in my head. Sean had some troubles with front board, but put down two in a row. He was hyped on the second one and said “at least that one was legit”. He wasn’t saying it gangster at all, but Fuzz laid into him saying it was all gangsta. So funny.After a drink break we hit up a jersey barrier spot behind a gas station. \u00a0There is a hill going into it with a little drainage section at the start of the hill. \u00a0We all started trying tricks over the little two foot drainage section into the hill then wallrides on the barriers. \u00a0180s and sw 180s went down pretty quick, but when it came time to kickflip we all struggled. \u00a0I got a couple crappy ones first. \u00a0Everyone eventually got them and Carleigh put down a good one with a wallride after. \u00a0Sick. \u00a0I put down a treflip on flat and thought I’d be in the zone, but ended up not really landing anything else. \u00a0It was super hot and sunny right there. \u00a0Carleigh put down a shove then wallride too. \u00a0Sean got some one foots over the gap and wallrides. \u00a0Fuzz struggled a bit at flippers, but got tricks like halfcabs both ways over the gap. \u00a0Sean slammed super hard on a fakie ollie, but got up and did it again. \u00a0We were having a blast even though it was super hot.We rolled over to campus and ended up at a new kicker spot. \u00a0I struggled more than I should have. \u00a0The spot was rad though. \u00a0The kicker was a mellow sidewalk kicker into a parking lot that was slightly downhill. \u00a0Fuzz busted some big ollies out then, a sick b\/s shifty and almost put down a front 360. \u00a0I got a couple tiny ollies then struggled at front shove. \u00a0Coming the other way Fuzz manualed everything, kickflipped in then manualed a rock then rode on some more rocks. \u00a0So sick. \u00a0I kickflipped in and b\/s 180’d too and got a couple rock rides that made me happy. \u00a0I was ollieing up onto them comfortably. \u00a0Carleigh got a shove quick then went for kickflip and eventually broke the nose on her board landing on the front. \u00a0Not to be discouraged she bent it into shape then went back and landed the most perfect kickflip we’ve ever seen her do. \u00a0Awesome. \u00a0We rolled back to the original spot to film Carleigh do her wallie out of the bank to ledge. \u00a0After listening to some martial arts dude for awhile we went back to the jersey barrier spot where Sean had met up with some young guns that were destroying it. \u00a0They did no comply jam and wallie late shove. \u00a0Ridiculous.Fuzz and Carleigh went to get adult beverages and Sean and I ended up skating more. \u00a0Carleigh and Fuzz filmed us. \u00a0I got a line with 360 flip, kickflip the gap, lame front wallride. \u00a0Carleigh hadn’t really filmed before so we went for it again so I could get the wallride better and she could be closer, but it ended up not working out. \u00a0I slammed really hard on a couple 360 flips. \u00a0Fuzz was filming too and got Sean do a full cab, halfcab into the downhill then wallie off the side of the barrier. \u00a0Sick! \u00a0I changed up my line and went for nollie tre. \u00a0I put a good one down then slammed really hard on the kickflip into the downhill. \u00a0Doh.Last part of the day we went back to the kicker so Carleigh could take a photo of Fuzz’s b\/s shifty. \u00a0Then we got pizza and beer and stayed in the Fort way late. \u00a0Super fun day. \u00a0Street skating is the bomb. \u00a0Look for photos from Carleigh soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
