skate journal: Circuit City hungerfest (Jan 8, 2010)

I had the day off work and spent it getting a lot of things done and went on a hike with Liz in the snow.  Fun.  Then when Ollie got off school I took him to the sledding hill to go snowboarding.  We hiked the hill 10 – 15 times and hit some tiny little jumps and it was super fun.  My favorite tricks were a run with a stalefish and then a back 180 melon.  Oh wait, this is a skate journal.  Ha.  So after waking up early, doing chores, hiking, hiking and snowboarding instead of taking a nap I hit Circuit City with Nate and Jason for about an hour.  It became apparent pretty quickly that I was exhausted and starving.  Being the dumbass that I am I still skated.  I came really close to getting the fakie flip, fakie nosegrind, fakie treflip run.  Had a lot of problems with halfcab flips.  Landed a 2mph treflip.  Nate was skating ok, but it turned out he was as hungry as me and he had to quit early too.  Jason showed up and talked on the phone for a long time.  Right when Nate and I decided we were over it he started skating.  Ha.  I watched him rattle off everyone of his tricks in about 5 minutes.  Rad.  Front 50, front 5-0, front smith, front nose, back nose, halfcab back nose, back 50, back crooks, back 5-0 and close to back tail.  Rad Jason.
