PJ from Excess sent me a link to this clip early in the day and it got me really hyped to skate Rampy.  Then Jake called me and reserved an 8pm skate date and I got even more hyped.  Then Jake and I were standing on the deck of Rampy about to begin the session I won a Rho Sham Bo and the session was on.  I was all hyped to try tons of weird new tricks, but ended up taking forever to warmup.  Ugh.  Early on I had some long-for-me boardslides to fakie.  Jake seemed to be ripping outta the gate.  He did a couple tricks I’ve never seen him do, but I forget what they are right now.  He started working on a line of switch back 50 (or maybe fakie back 50 to fakie), tail stall, back 5-0 to fakie, tail stall, back feeble 270 out.  He slammed really hard on one of the first switch 50s, but stuck with it and got the line. I was kinda all over the place for awhile.  I got most of my tough tricks.  Ones that stuck out were fakie f/s axle to rock ‘n roll first try and the best front tail I’ve ever done.  I couldn’t get a hurricane though.  At then end I started trying blunts to axle stall, but they started going pivot so I went with it and landed my first ever blunt to pivot anywhere other then a curb or Honey’s Hole.  Radical.  Fun night.  I think the funnest trick may have been the Matrix like dodge of the coping I did on a failed blunt stall.  It was all slow motion and I just kinda bent my body out of the way of coping.
