skate journal: a bit of street skating with Neil and Nate (March 29)
After another not fun at all day in the tub I picked up Neil on a nice afternoon to try and find a decent sized patch of dry concrete. We met up with Nate where he works and just stayed there at Google. Nate lowered the yellow bank and we skated that as well as a snow pile and the bank into the parking garage. Nate was ripping. Neil wasn’t very motivated. I felt like I was learning to skate all over again. It took me several tries but I was able to ollie a little snow pile that Nate and Neil had no problems with. Landing in cupsoles rules. I had one little mini run with an ollie over the snowpile then feeble to fakie on the bank. Yippee. One of the ollies over the snowbank felt really good. After awhile we were playing a game of SKATE, but I got a call from work so it just fell apart. I cracked my board really bad on a heelflip then focused it before we left. Hyped to be able to street skate again.
