skate journal: Quick Stonehenge session with Jake (April 1, 2010)
Posted in Skate Journal on April 2nd, 2010 by corpoI tried to come up with some April Fools Day joke about how I quit skating, but I’m just not that funny. Plus who would ever believe it? On a windy and colder night I picked up Jake after 7 and we went to Stonehenge. On the way there we talked about doing front 180 up fakie ollie off. That didn’t seem to likely at first when we both couldn’t get a clean manual. We gave up on a clean manual after awhile. Jake got an ollie up the tall side turned around and nollied off. I got a front 180 up the taller side and a f/s halfcab off the shorter side. Then we started the line we had talked about. Jake and I did it totally different, but it was cool. He would do front 180 up the tall part and turn around for the fakie ollie. I would do front 180 up the lower part to fakie ollie off the taller part. After getting those Jake tried halfcab up and kickflip off, but it started to get too dark for flippers. I went the shove route and did fakie bigspin up, front shove off which really hyped me up. I followed that with a clean manual finally and we called it a day. On the way back to the car we hit the old bank to curb. Jake did front pivot and I did front tail, front d and back axle. I used to skate that spot so much. It’s still fun.
