skate journal: Wet Eggs, mist skating and Black Ice in Boston (June 24, 2011)
After a decent game of SKATE near Pat’s house we went to Eggs. Carleigh unfortunately had to leave. Going to Eggs was unanimous though. The spot looked epic to say the least and it didn’t disappoint at all. We got cut short due to the rain/mist picking up. But the session lasted a long time and we had a blast. Matt and Joe got so many ledge tricks and they busted most of them here. I had a couple lines I was hyped on. Noseslide, crooks, boardslide the 3 stair ledge (take that PJ). Front 5-0, front board, front 180 down the 3. Joe had some mean front smiths. Matt had some sick nollie crooks. Super fun.
We did some sight seeing, and rolled around in the rain. Rob did a ridiculous boneless to manual down a hill. Then we ended up at AQ where I took a long time to do the manual above, but no time to do PJ Ladd’s trick first try:
After that we did some chilling then went to another spot that could be characterized as completely incredible, Black Ice:
Yes, this spot is real.
We skated Black Ice for about an hour before the rain kicked in again. It was a blast. Rob had some amazing front slashes on the bank to curb. Everyone was ripping. I can’t remember much. I got a line I was super hyped on though. Wallie from a curb into the bank, front tail slide over the grate, then backside flip on a bank. It really hyped me up. So much fun.
