Awesome!
I missed out on a SOL ramp session due to snowboarding/sledding with the kids (which was a total blast), but luckily Nate and Jason wanted to skate so we hit up Rampy. Nate and I started slow, but when Jason showed up it seemed to go off. Nate and I were landing new tricks and Jason was grinding so far his nose would hit the walls. So sick. I got a couple fakie boardslides. They weren’t good, but they were a start. I tried some with a backside revert, but never got close. I also got some lame, but new for me willy stalls to fakie. I wanted to learn the rock to willy to fakie thing, but just can’t comprehend it. Jason had some legit back tail slides that blew us away. Nate learned hurricanes. At the end I did several fakie nosepick things. I don’t no, it’s like a halfcab rock, but just put the front truck on. I’ve done it before, but not intentionally. I also got my first fakie pivot fakie in awhile. Fun times. So hyped on having Rampy this time of year.
Was busy running errands and watching Ollie while others got together and skated red curbs on a snowy afternoon. I met up with Carleigh, Jason, Neil, Reed, Josh Steele and others and they were all warmed up. Josh brought a bench and was killing it. Noseblunts on it? Yeap. kickflip crooks? Yeap. He destroys. Neil seemed pretty mellow and already done when I got there, Jason was skating the new bench really well, Carleigh seemed bummed, Reed looked rusty, but still killed it. I started off slow and kinda just stayed that way. It was pretty cold and it showed. Reed and I tried doing mannies to rock no comply bonk. He got it first and that ended that. I tried some crooks on the bench, but never really got one. I was trying to skate a bit faster and I’m sure it didn’t show. I was doing fakie ollies then halfcab flips or faster then normal back 180s. Felt good. It’s hard to flip the board when the bushing are frozen. We ended up getting kicked out right after I got a crappy front board to fakie on the bench thing and failed to get a 360 flip.
