skate journal: This weather blows (March 23, 2010)
Posted in Skate Journal on March 24th, 2010 by corpoSeriously, another blizzard? This winter blows. I got off work, but spent almost 3 hours driving about 30 miles to pick up shirts and hats for Null. It changed from pouring rain to 5″ of snow in about 30 seconds. Ugh. Anyways, after dinner, a nap, some kid time and the dishes I went out to Rampy around 10:30. I had no real goals or motivation, but I ended up having fun despite having some of the worst flatspots ever on my new sample wheels. Argh. I guess the back 180 test last night did them in. I just didn’t notice on asphalt. About the only tricks I did on Rampy I was hyped on were front and back smiths. Other then that I ended up just skating flatground and hucking tricks. Somehow it was fun even though I would stop sometimes due to the flat spots. I did a lot of hucking. Landed on a hardflip for the first time ever. Didn’t ride out though. Landed on two switch kickflips, but slammed on both. Felt cool to land on those at least. Other then that I did a few basics. I stopped skating when I realized I was gonna pass out due to hunger or exhaustion or both.
