skate journal: Red Curbs with Jason (May 14, 2010)
Posted in Skate Journal on May 14th, 2010 by corpoIt’s the middle of May here folks and it’s still beanie weather. Now I like beanies as much the next skater, but I’m seriously over this cold weather. Enough. Uncle. Argh. Anyways I met Jason over at Red Curbs for a couple hours of fun filled curb skating. Jason was hungover again and I was still feeling really rusty. Before Jason got there I did a couple warm up lines that hyped me up and depressed me at the same time. I did tricks like slappy front tail to fakie, slappy backwards noseslide (switch without an ollie) and front board popouts on the ledge. All going 2 mph and all with bad style. I blame that on my groin being stiff. It seems to be getting better still though. Not as much pain and I don’t feel like I’m doing permanent damage anymore.I kept it mellow the whole night taking more breaks than normal. Some highlights of the session were a small kick back tailslide where it actually slid a little, front 50 back 180 out, back 50s almost every try, fakie nosegrind, slappyies, bad flip tricks and not being hurt. Jason did some good tailslides, lipslides, slappies and ended it with a solid back tailslide. Rad. Shortly before leaving I started hucking some tail drop 3 shoves and got one. That’s new for me, but it’s just kind of a dork trick until I do it on El Toro.
