skate journal: more louisville tech center skating (Feb 21)
After another cold Friday with some snow things cleared up and the Factory skated. While waiting for Fuzz we got some flatground SKATE going in front of my house. Poor Brian got worked once again right away. What was it this time? A shove it I think? Neil came in mid game then beat me with tricks he knows I can’t do like a backside 360 slide. Honestly, I can’t do that. I was pretty on my flip tricks which put me in a good mood. Our first stop was an angled loading dock with a curb on the edge. About the only thing I landed on it was a slappy 50 which was actually quite fun. I did a lot of flatground as well and put down a couple 360 flips that felt really good. Others were ripping. Neil and Fuzz especially. Neil makes the basics look so good. Fuzz was almost getting some insane tricks. Unfortunately “almost” was too much and he snapped and focused the crap out of his board. I had problems just plain ollieing over the curb where the loading dock was a bit taller. Ugh. Later on I tried a line with a slappy 50 followed by a noseslide which was super hard because I had to land the 50 and turn back to the ledge immediately. I never quite got it.Next we went to the steep bank spot where Jason, Rob and Neil destroyed. It was a sick session to watch and I just kinda posed some tricks and felt dumb. Nothing new there. Fun day.
