skate journal: pre Off The Couch Lville session fun (Oct 26, 2009)
Nate, Pat, Pat’s friend Charlie, Jason and I headed over to the Lville park for some pre-premiere skate action. I started off slow. Really slow. After awhile we played a game of SKATE on the bank to ledge. I bailed a couple easy ones, but got a kickflip pivot first try. Pat won the game of course. After awhile we headed over to the hockey rink for some flatground SKATE. I kept up the sucking for the first couple games. Nate gave Pat a run in a couple of the games. The last game we could only do tricks we hadn’t done yet which somehow worked out for me as I didn’t lose right away and got at up to SKA. I don’t remember all what I landed, but I know everything took a bunch of tries and I couldn’t do tre’s or nollie tres. Then we went back into the park and shredded around for awhile. I was tired and starting to get a bit stressed about the premiere, but managed to do one of the better lines I’ve done there. Manual the ledge by the pool (first time I’ve ever done that), ollie onto the little ledge and into the bank, kickturn, kickflip over the hip. Most of those were done horrible. The session ended when Jason stomped a back tail over the bank to ledge. Sickness!
