skate journal: Google with John, Nate and Brian then Rampy silliness(Jan 15, 2010)
Got off of work and everyone was dealing with female issues. Made me feel lucky. Liz you are the greatest. I went to Google to pick up Nate, but he was hating life on the phone, then back to pick up John on his 35th B-day, then back to Google where Nate was still on the phone. John and I skate the bank into the parking garage and it was pretty fun. John got the ol’ 270 no comply back tail into the bank, fakie ollie, front tail on the upper right one (sick) and some other silly tricks. I started trying halfcab flips and they felt weird. Stuck with it and eventually got a bad one in. I followed it up with a fun powerslide, kickflip, no comply and fakie flip in the garage though. I also got a back pop shove into it second try. Fun. Brian showed up and joined the kickflip in race John and I had going. I landed one, but it was horrible. John landed a good one. Brian didn’t get it, but topped it 100 fold with a perfect first try backside no comply 360. So sick. Nate’s second line manager was lurking so we headed to Wahoos to eat. Seeing as how we skated over there we thought it would be appropriate to push mongo there. Awesome. After a margarita and food we ended up back at google and skated for a bit longer. Not being sober allowed me to manual down the bank. We had some tic tac races up the parking garage. Brian and his big wheels won. I slid out once with Nate in hot pursuit and he almost leveled me. So funny.Next up was an impromptu beer infused totally silly and awesome Rampy session. Lazer met up with us too. I think most everyone did their tricks. Lots of laughter and slams went down. I don’t know if anyone landed anything new. Brian, Nate and I laughed too hard trying to slurp our beers the loudest. At the end Brian lobbed a beer can from the flat up onto the top shelf for the closer. Epic!
