skate journal: Safeway ledge with Nate (April 10, 2010)
Posted in Skate Journal on April 11th, 2010 by corpoWhat a day. Woke up early and grouchy and never got out of the funk. Went to the Llama farm with India for fix-it-up day. I spent about 5 hours shoveling rocks and painting a barn. Not fun and not easy on the body. After a quick nap I picked up Nate and we went to the Safeway ledge. It wasn’t in the best shape and I could tell Nate was feeling it initially. I was sucking and totally exhausted. After awhile we started to feel it though. We hucked a bunch of tricks and landed some of them. Nate did a first try nollie heel front nose jib. I did a lot of tries kick back tail jib. We put out a container to ollie over and Nate learned nosebonks then nosebonk front 180s. So sick. He did at least 20 180 nosebonks in a row. I got a couple crooks, one back 50 that took forever, a couple front tails, a first try back 180 nosegrind jib and some fun and fast b/s noseslides. I also tried a kick back 50 and accidently did a kick back 5-0 mongo push. That was funny. Nate got back smith, perfect back tail, back 180 nosegrind, and a bunch of fakie back tails. He also nollie front 180’d the container thing. So sick. Both of us were tired and not skating our best, but it was fun.
