skate journal: quick bear creek session with Nate (Nov 25, 2009)
Got out of a frustrating day of work early for the Holiday and felt like skating the plastic benches at Bear Creek before leaving for my parents. It was colder than I thought out, but warming up didn’t take too incredibly long. Nate took a long time to meet up and I had already gotten front 50s and crooks and remembered why I didn’t like those benches so much. They are so weird. I’m not sure how to describe it other than they are weird. They aren’t tall, just weird. I managed one fun of front 50 180 out, halfcab flip, front 180 a crack gap then fakie ollie into a mellow mellow bank. Shortly after this I slammed insanely hard manualling down the bank when my wheel caught in a crack. Ouch. Thus the start of my knee not having much skin.Right after that I got a call for work and had to split. I decided a quick game of SKATE was in order. It ended up not only being a long game, but an insanely awesome game that had both of us landing tricks like fakie 360 flip, 360 flip, heelflip, fakie bigflip, f/s halfcab flip, etc. Nate got some goodies like nollie 360 flip, switch flip, switch heelflip, something and a nollie varial flip to win it. He had SKAT too though off tricks like fakie heelflip, b/s flip and a couple more I can’t remember. Good game. Work sucks.
