Before dinner I put the space heater out on Rampy to battle the freezing cold (-10 F).  I think the space heater was fighting a losing battle, but it probably helped it from being below freezing in there.  After dinner Ollie and I went out there for a bit.  I sucked it up again really bad.  I even slammed super hard on a front 50 that hung up and had the board hit me in the head after.  Awesome.  To add insult to injury Ollie beat me to rock ‘n rolls both ways and got another frontside scratch grind.  He also felt more like skating the flat bottom (or lack there of) and did pop shoves and fakie pop shoves.  Sometimes he would end up on the tranny a bit so then he started intentionally trying pop shoves to fakie.  He got one.  He wasn’t up the tranny very much, but then again he is related to me and you will see a photo of a Glen ollie in about two paragraphs.Ollie and I went in and still no one else had shown.  I put the space heater on again and almost fell asleep reading the new Transworld magazine.  Eventually Lazer showed up and we hung out reading magazines while Ollie played Nirvana songs on Itunes.  Fun.  Eventually Chad and Carleigh arrived and it was time to get our shred on.  Lazer killed it out of the gates once again.  This was Chad’s first time skating Rampy and it showed.  He had a lot of trouble getting used to it, but would eventually lay down some sick stuff.  Carleigh had another night of skating good.  She did her main bag of tricks quickly, laid down another kickflip rock fakie and came close to fakie shove disasters.  Wow.  I was skating decent finally.  It only took two hours of warming up I guess.  I did most of my tricks like front feeble, hurricane, fakie hurricane, fakie pivot fakie, front lip and more boring tricks.  Near the end Carleigh took some photos.Chad was doing huge ollies to fakie by the end of the night.I’ve been working on my ollies and clearly it shows. Just look at the height on this one! I mean clearly, Carleigh blew it taking the photo. Had she taken it at the peak I’m sure it would have looked more like:Yeah, watch out Fuzz.Anyways.  The end of the session was Chad trying frontside flips until he got a good one and me failing kickflip pivots until Chad landed his trick and we could call it a night.Go to Carleigh’s blog for many more photos of striped sweaters.
