skate journal: Lville spots (Sept 13, 2009)

After a late night of poker and beers Lazer, Carleigh, Jason, Rob and I headed to the TF park (ie Lville tech area) as Rob and Lazer both had tricks they wanted to get for their parts.  Rob got his all quick like.  Boardslide transfer then no comply wallride super good.  Street Lazer was ripping with a little line including a switch b180 over a curb.  Carleigh was slamming on kickflips over a curb for days.  Ouch.  I wasn’t skating too well either, but had a couple b/s flips off the little bump and did a run with a pop shove into the kicker, kickflip on curb, front 180 the next.  I was also trying front board shove transfers.  Couldn’t get close while I was sliding.Next we went and filmed Lazer’s potential new ender then found this super awesome bump to skate nearby.  Lazer straight killed it with melon, stale, tuck knee, back 180, everything he did.  Jason was lofting some huge ollies.  Carleigh got a pop shove.  Rob was surfing his ollies and got a var heel.  I attempted b/s flips for a long time before finally getting one.  If we ever skate there again I’d love to b/s flip over the whole thing.  It’s a bump with about a 5 foot table top, but the landing isn’t as steep as the take off.  It’s soooooo fun.  I also got a front shove, great feeling kickflip and some weak ollies.  Super fun spot and a better day then I would have thought.
