skate journal: 36 year old red curbs session (April 12)
My 36th B-day. Yeah. Had a fun day doing the Easter thing with the family, but was messed up from eating so much candy and fatty food. I kinda wanted to just go out for a beer, but Nate and Jason wanted red curbs (it was raining). So there we go. Started about 8:30 and Jake met us too. I could hardly kickflip to save my life and Nate was having the candy problem too, but it was fun. Jake landed a front lip. Jason landed some back tailslides! New trick for him so hyped. Nate tried to ollie a 5 foot cone. My highlight was a nose manual followed by an ollie over the rock gap. I’ve never ollied it before, just wallied the rock. Later on I got a fakie bigspin up the curb and Jason got my back with a full cab up. WTF? He’s never even done that trick before. Nate was killing the back 5-0 shoves grinding the whole curb. At the end I started hucking fakie front crooks and landed one where I didn’t grind at all. Does it even count if your going 2 miles an hour on a curb?
