skate journal: Brian’s birthday flat bank session (Feb 6)
I was super tired from working earlies all week and felt somewhat let down by my initial viewing of Mind Field. Nate and I skated at Google for a bit until Brian was ready. We ollied into the downhill pad a couple times then started goofing around on the little one foot tall flat bank on corrugated metal. Before long I was trying feebles to fakie. And then quite awhile later I was still trying feebles to fakie until I finally landed one. Nate got a backside blunt. Cool.Then we went and picked up Brian and headed to campus. A cop rolled by as we pulled in. Not a good omen. We were rolling around and started to mess around on a rock when another cop pulled up and just kinda stopped. Brian had read an article that campus police were cracking down on skateboarding so we split and went back to the Google flat bank.Brian immediately put down tricks that Nate and I had taken awhile to get. I tried to get another feeble to fakie and after about say 100 tries I got one. Then we ghetto lighted the spot and setup a camera while Brian did a blunt fakie and I did feeble fakie. Doubles! Brian did a bunch of amazing tricks like hands in the pocket blunts, front blunt to pivot, front blunt to 50 to fakie, etc. Nate ollied onto the ledge near the bank then ollied into the bank. Way harder then any documentation will ever show. I got a nosepick pop out thing. Nate closed it with a blunt shove out. Banger!
