skate journal: Some flat before the Stay Gold premiere (Aug 31, 2010)
Didn’t have much time as I wanted to get to Fuzz’s kinda soon to work on his website before the premiere. So I just skated flat for about 30 min. Nothing special went down. It took several tries to get a slow treflip. The new trucks are still a bit stiff. I tried a line for awhile of halfcab flip, heelflip, treflip and never came close. I skated pretty hard at least and it was fun.Later on Fuzz, John and I went to the Stay Gold premiere. We got there kinda late so we missed the Meta teaser. Doh. After a bunch of good teasers Stay Gold started. Without ruining it too much I’ll just say that the video starts off super good with Westgate and Herman before going into a bunch of handrails for awhile, Suski, more handrails then ends with epic parts from Leo and Reynolds. At one point during Leo’s part Fuzz said to me “Are we watching Misled Youth?” Pretty much nailed it right there. Reynolds part is completely epic though. He makes hammers look good and he’s 30 something? Not sure I’m gonna buy this video, but I really liked the 5 parts I mentioned so I probably will.
