skate journal: longmont park with nate (sept 8, 2009)

Posted in Skate Journal on September 10th, 2009 by corpo

Nate and I showed up to a crowded park.  My legs were really tired still from the kick back fail.  Was taking awhile to get warmed up, but almost got a line of tailstall on the top of the cradle, then crooks the ledge then manual back.  Didn’t get the manny.  We took a break to the gas station so Nate could nourish his ailing body then came back and the park was even more crowded.  We ended up skating the long ledge/cradle area the entire night.  Nate got some nose manny front 180s and almost nose manny front big.  I managed to manual it from the taller side which I’ve never done before.  I got a lot of tailslides kinda on the top of the cradle and a few crooks.  Almost some front nosegrinds, nollie tres, no comply back 360s, was having fun.  I also got on crooks before the end of the ledge and tried to pop out of it.  Didn’t quite get it.  Pretty fun session even though we only skated 1/20 of the park.
