skate journal: Manny pad with Nate (May31, 2010)
Posted in Skate Journal on June 1st, 2010 by corpoAfter a gruesome Memorial Day drive down the mountains I met up with Nate. Feeling a little sad about not going to Co Springs with the Factory I didn’t think anyone would be around. Not that the family vacation wasn’t totally awesome, but passing on a skate trip with the bros aint easy. Nate had just gotten back from Portland and was willing to take some time off work for a hour or so session so I met him at google. I had new shoes:Supra Sports aka the Tom Penny shoe. I’ve had these shoes before and they blew out quick. This time I super glued the stitching though. Anyways, I met Nate and we went to the KGNU manny pad. Nate killed it out of the gates. I think he did 5 different manual tricks before I landed a nose manny (which I had to resort to because I couldn’t land a regular manual). Nate did so many tricks. Halfcab manual back 180 out, halfcab nose manual nollie b/s 180 out, f/s nollie 180 noseman, nollie nose man, so many more. The one that got away from him was the nollie back 180 nose man 180 out. He came close though. I was hyped to get a sw front 180 manny (with heel drag) and kickflip manny heel drag. Came close to nose manny shove and then out of the blue did a slow nollie front shove manny 3rd try. That trick made my day. It was hot and we sweated and it was fun.
