skate journal: Fun times on Rampy with Nate (Feb 15, 2010)
Hurting from an awesome Valentines night with the Mighty LZA and a long day at work I didn’t feel much like skating. Luckily Nate did. It was pretty cold (upper teens) so we opted for Rampy. Somehow both of us started pretty good and we moved into our harder tricks pretty quickly. I got lots of tricks that aren’t normally first try tricks first try. Yippee. Front D, back hurricane, fakie front axle to rock ‘n roll. Nate was doing front 5-0 fakie, fakie smith 270 out, fakie smith fakie, front D. We were ripping for us. I moved onto front feebles pretty quick and was trying them in a not so easy run for me. Back 50, boardslide fakie, front smith, fakie front axle to rock ‘n roll, fakie pivot fakie then front feeble. Never got them all and never managed to not throw in a few rock fakie/tail stall additions into that line. But I did get the front feeble. A couple of them. And I was really hyped. After that I tried blunt to pivots, but never got a good one. I got tired pretty quick. Nate was still ripping and worked his way up to feebles to fakie. It took him a bit to put one down, but once he did I think he did like 5 in a row. Fun session. I’ll give some credit in my confidence to the DC’s. I hate to admit it, but they are some of the best shoes ever.
