Not sure why this bums me out so much, but boo Cory Kennedy.  Sure those tricks are pretty cool, but it sure comes off as jocky and cocky to throw those out of the gates.  Ramondetta still rules.

Started my day off feeling better.  Heel felt good, side felt ok.  Went outside to skate and realize I hadn’t put my shoe on yet so the heel started hurting more.  Ugh.  Side went kinda numb too.  Man getting old sucks.  I could barely kickflip to save my life.  I dorked around in front of the house for awhile and posed out switch f/s flips which still somehow feel doable.  Everyone showed up and after a viewing of Inhabitants we went over to Valmont because  Carleigh wanted to get a noseslide shove.  I wasn’t complaining as I had a trick for that spot on my list.  Lists lists lists, film film film.  Looking forward to a couple weeks from now when there is no filming again.  But it is what it is and it’s almost kinda cool trying to get everything on film.  I started trying front 180 fakie 50 bigspin out and eventually landed a couple.  Lazer ski’d off the dock.  Fuzz did 20 warmup tricks I would film for my part.  Neil got a lipslide.  Carleigh did not get the noseslide shove.  Then we went over to this bush gap  and Brian ollied it.  It was ridiculous.  That’s one of the list for me and one off the list for Brian.  Rad.

I attempted to skate on Friday too, but my achilles was hurting so bad I couldn’t push.  Ugh.  Tried again on Saturday and it was a bit better, but still sucked.  We started at a bank spot that I’ve never skated before and that spot is so sick.  It’s got a waxed bank where you can go over some holes and a shorter ledge.  I got a couple weird back hurricanes over it where I turned to forward the wrong way.  My legs didn’t have it in them to pop onto the little ledge.  Ugh.  Fuzz was ripping of course.  Brian and I were stressing over what we could do that would be filmed.  John straight showed up Reed Goodman.  Ha.  Jake had some good front  lipslides over the hole.Next we went to Fairview where I was to try my stupid kickflip noseman dumptruck.  I didn’t get close.  I did get frustrated though.  My heel started acting up and I was over it.  I don’t really feel like doing another 2 mile an hour trick anyway.  I lurked or filmed the rest of the day.
