skate journal: kgnu manny pad with Jason and Nate (May 22)
Quick after work session with Jason and Nate at the tiny manny pad we used to skate a lot. Jason and I were there for a bit before Nate joined us. Between Jason and I we had like 3 tricks total before Nate came in and literally did 6 different manny tricks in a row first try. Talk about feeling old. Geez. Nate is good. I had a good time even though I really didn’t last much. I kept skating hard and tried a lot of new stuff. Came somewhat close to a fakie bigspin manual. Tried it like 50 times. Considering I’ve only landed a fakie bigspin up a curb a few times I wasn’t that bummed. The one rare trick I actually landed was a nose manual nollie front 180 out. Well, more of a front pivot out, but who’s keeping score? I came close to a few fakie hardflips too. Fun.
