skate journal: steelyards with mr land everything (sept 16)
Posted in Skate Journal on September 17th, 2008 by corpoIt’s been days and days since I’ve been to Steelyards. I was really tired as usual and my side/back was acting up a bit. I had a new deck though and new decks and super good concrete mix rather will. I had done a couple regular manauls before Nate showed up. Right off his bike he says “180 nose manual no warmup” and does it. Sick! He also went on to land tricks like nollie nose manual 180 out, nose manny shove, nollie front 180 manual, who knows what else. Dude rips. I landed a horrible manual front 180 out and that’s about it for tricks other than regular manuals for me. I setup an ashtray after the manual pad about the time that Nate left and bailed several times trying to ollie it. I suck at ollies. I dedicated my last attempt to my kids and nailed it. It was not a big ollie by any means, but it was tall for me and it put a rather large smile on my face. Rad. I took a breather and about blacked out when I got up. Weird. Decided to call it after that.
