skate journal: ugh street skating, RAMPY! (Dec 30)

Posted in Skate Journal on December 31st, 2008 by corpo

Tired from partying at the Denver Shop premiere I made a weak attempt at going street skating.  It was pretty chilly and I went to campus.  I forgot the students were gone and the campus was empty.  It feels weird skating campus when no one is around and it makes you more visible to cops.  Sure enough in the warm up process I spotted a cop rolling up on me when I was near the curved stairs spot.  I left campus and went home to Rampy where I had a tough time warming up, but ended up getting three tricks I’ve never done on it before.  Back 5-0 grinds, back feeble grinds and a fakie back feeble stall.  The first two are tricks I’ve landed a few times and the feebles aren’t Riley Persing or Hightower legit, but it was cool.  The fakie feeble stall was hard though and I felt like Brian Ball, but,  without the hips.  Ha ha ha Brian you are my hero.

Not much time to skate before the Denver Shop premiere.  Got a few basics that I’ve done before.  Nothing special.  Having problems with front disasters again.  Suck.

Went to red curbs with Neil, Brian, Lazer, Fuzz.  First time street skating in a along time and it showed.  I basically couldn’t do anything and about the time I started to get warmed up everyone wanted to go eat.  I need to start driving seperate so I can actually skate.  Either that or learn how to warm up in less then an hour.  I wish.
