skate journal: my first back tail on rampy! (Oct 12, 2010)
Almost took a sick day. Had such a nice and relaxing evening with the kids and Liz playing Wii Sports, reading the new Thrasher, eating, etc. But after icing my knee throughout the day it felt quite a bit better and I new I wanted to skate a bit. So I went out to Rampy with the rough idea I would try to land a back disaster seeing as how I’ve done a few at Zuni now. After some sucking it was decided that back d was not an option, but I started trying back tail stalls and quite a few tries later I did one of those back tails where you pivot into the tail. I don’t really like those, but it’s my first one and my knee was starting to hurt so I’ll take it! 49 more days.
