Feeling sick enough that I called in sick for work I sat around most of the day. Did a lot of editing for the Null teaser, watched the movie Outsourced, napped and played some Rock Band with Liz. Pretty fun day really. I started to feel better late in the afternoon and after dinner I was too ansy to not skate. Ollie was down again and we went out to the garage for another Rampy session on a cold cold night. For whatever reason after a couple runs I decided to try fakie front axle and turn it around on the coping to back axle. A few scary slams later I landed it. New trick! Ollie had fun. He put down his longest run to date which was probably 5 minutes consisting of 99% rock fakie/tail stall combos. But he threw in some frontside kickturns, halfcab kickturns, body varials and fakie ollies too. Toward the end he started making a bunch of funny faces during his rock fakies so I took some photos.

On October 28th, Carleigh, Fuzz and I met up with John and Rebecca at the Bluebird for some Thermals fun. Carleigh, Fuzz and I missed the opening bands due to an extremely fun session at the Broomfield park. That band has never disappointed. Every show has been completely awesome and this one was no exception. Apparently Fuzz and I even chest pumped to show our appreciation:Or maybe Fuzz just wanted to be closer to his shop’s shirt. Either way we all had a blast, the new stuff sounded great, they even played When We Were Alive and I went over my 7 beer weekly limit for the first time in 3 months. Yippee!

Feeling really sick now, but stressing over this 300 day thing. When Ollie said he’d skate Rampy on a snowy night I couldn’t resist.  He ripped it.  Rock ‘n rolls, body varials, fakie ollies, funny faces.  I got a couple things I don’t even remember.

Feeling sick even after a nap I couldn’t resist Rampy with Jake since he called.  I said it should be a quick session, but it ended up being pretty long and of course, fun.  We both started out ok and did most of our tricks.  Jake had trouble with his staple of front nosepick, but came through with a bunch of feeble grinds which he surprisingly hasn’t done before.  I did a bunch of front tail stalls, front feeble and possibly my first ever backside chink chink.  Well, I’m not sure it’s a chink chink if it doesn’t make much noise.  But I went in fakie, touched the front truck and went back in to fakie.  Cool.
