skate journal: another quick solo Rampy session (Jan 9, 2010)
Saturday morning. Normally this means play with the kids for a bit and then skate all day. But today was the Nation Western Stock Show with India and a couple of the other girls in her 4H club. So I went out and hit Rampy for 15 minutes before we left and while the coffee jitters were still in effect. Warmup tricks went down pretty quick and I did a few flatground kickflips and frontside flips. For some reason I started posing what I think are called sugarcanes. Fronside ollie past disaster into a fakie back smith. I didn’t get close, but it felt possible someday. Then I settled on trying front tails and almost died on a set up pivot and had to get going. Hoot!
