This part is incredible.  To me this is the best “first” part from anyone since PJ.  On top of the amazing skating the music, editing and filming are great.  The spots are not blown out So Cal spots and there is some filler in there which I like.  Kudos.  I’m buying this video.

skate journal: super fun flatground session with jake (March 1, 2010)

Posted in Skate Journal on March 2nd, 2010 by corpo

First day of March was another winter day where the snow had to melt off and it got cold at night.  So Jake and I went to Circuit City to skate flatground in the somewhat heated parking garage.  Things started out slow for me, but I’ve become accustomed to this when I skate so much.  My new board was feeling good and after a few warm up laps of 180s, kickflips and whatnot we settled in on a 360 flip battle.  First one to land one gets a beer.  Jake won!  Stoked on this actually.  First time Jake beat me to a 3 flip challenge.  After this we each worked on lines for awhile.  I was trying halfcab flip then 360 flip then nollie 360 flip.  Didn’t get the nollie 3 flip in this line, but the halfcab flip and treflips were feeling great.  Jake ended up getting a banger of a line.  No comply 180, halfcab flip, f/s flip, fakie flip.  So sick.  Shortly after that I put down my best flatground line ever.  Fakie bigflip, front shove, nollie treflip, treflip.  Finally got treflip and nollie treflip in the same line!  I don’t think the tre was too clean, but whatevs, the rest of the tricks were ok and the nollie tre and fakie big flip felt super good.  Another challenge went down.  Gummy bears for the first frontside halfcab flip.  It took a bit, but I got it.  Then I tried a run of heelflip, varial flip, frontside halfcab flip.  Never got the fs halfcab flip.  Had a blast though.  Near the end I had slammed on some trick and was laying on the ground laughing with Jake.  I love skateboarding.  I love when you have as much energy as I did tonight and I love being a grown ass man that laughs when he falls down in a dirty parking garage on a cold night.
