Albert Nyberg. Not to be confused with Norberg from Naked Gun.

Solo Rampy session.  Nothing that great.  I was super tired from tossing and turning all night for no reason then having to work at 7:00am.  I treid a bunch of fakie front smiths and only landed one lame one.  Then I slammed and called it a night.  New shoes feel good on Rampy.  I did a couple kickflips on flat and they felt great.After I got back inside I took my shoes off and realized I had both sets of my custom insoles in my shoes.  So two in each shoe.  Pretty funny.

Another perfect late fall day.  Chilly, but in the lower 50s.  Liz was out on a hike and Jake wanted to skate so we skated flatground in front of the house for awhile.  We started out doing our own things for awhile.  Jake had some 4 of 5 trick lines.  I struggled, but was having fun.  After awhile we played a game of SKATE.  He got me on treflip and frontside flip.  I got him with halfcab flips, fakie varial flip, heelflip and ended it with a first time in a game double flip.  Hyped.  Before Jake left we had a quick race to 3 360flips for a root beer.  I put the first two down, but took awhile to get the third.  Jake got two as well so it was close.Next I went to Southern Hills again, but with Neil, Derek, Matt and his friend Ian.  My legs were so ridiculously sore initially.  I kinda warmed up, did a few things I’ve done there a lot of times and then retired to being filmer guy.  Go Null.

Super exhausted from a late night of shows and getting home to a very sick Ollie making weird noises, crying and holding his throat. That went on for awhile keeping me up until 4am or so. Ugh. After chilling with Ollie for awhile, trying to repair my laptop and watching the Habitat video twice I went to Southern Hills solo as the rest of TF had gone to Fort Collins. I brought a bunch of wax, waxed up the ledges real good and felt like going right to work trying lines and I ended up only trying lines the whole time. The first one was backside noseslide, slappy front tail on the curb, back boardslide, kickflip. That didn’t take long. I chose to alternate between b/s on the benches and f/s on the benches. So the next line was frontside. Really bad front board, really bad slappy back tail on the curb, front 50. Backside crooks, no comply 180, horrible halfcab noseslide. It’s crazy how tight this spot feels when your trying lines like this. Next one took a awhile. Front 50 front 180 out, f/s halfcab flip, no slide front nose to fakie. Backside noseslide to fakie, b/s halfcab flip, back 50. The back 50 took several tries and was seriously horrible. It was one of those 90 degree in, grind less then a foot and desperately try to land on the board. But landing the back 50 was probably my favorite trick of the day because of how few times I’ve landed that on benches. Last line took forever and I was so tired. Frontside noseslide, treflip, front 50 front shove out. The front noses were horrid. I cannot do that trick to forward so I was jibbing the last bit of the bench. My standards were low for the day as it was just a solo session, but even with the bar so low I turned around and started over sometimes. I’m so jealous of Jason’s. Anyways I tried this run for awhile and when I did make it to the front 50 part I could never get on the bench so I switched ledge tricks. A few tries later I did it. Front 50 shove, 360 flip, bad bad front noseslide. I was hyped though. I sat for awhile feeling so so tired. I noticed that I cracked my board at some point and there was a hole in the bottom of my front shoe. Sweet.

Before heading to see Zach’s band then Henry Clay People I skated Rampy for abit. For whatever reason I thought of trying back 50s to rock fakie. I never would commit to fakie. Carleigh showed up with a few minutes before we had to go. I got a back 50 to rock ‘n roll, but not to fakie. In the same run I got a fakie pivot fakie so I called it. Carleigh got quite a few of her basics too.
