I was having a lazy Sunday. It rained early and I figured that would be enough for the day and after slacking for awhile I fell asleep. I woke up and there was a text from Carleigh saying we should go skate. Rad. But then I looked outside and it looked like another unusual thunderstorm. Ugh. We headed north a little thinking we might escape it. Nope. We lasted a the Valmont spot about 5 minutes before the rain started coming. In that time Carleigh and I played a game of SKATE and I ollied off the loading dock once.

So we went to a parking garage that has some red curbs, but isn’t the famous Red Curbs. It ended up being a blast. We tried tons of tricks. Some of which were landed. Carleigh worked on back 50s until she landed her first few. Sick! She also almost stomped some varial heels. After some basics I had started trying 5-0 kickflip out and got a couple that felt doable, but I wasn’t close. I tried a bunch of nollie f/s flips and got soooo close. Argh. Other tricks I was hyped to do were treflips, front tailslide and kickflips.

Then we went across the lot to another garage and ollied a newspaper stand (on it’s side) a few times before I freaked out and wanted to leave because I kept landing weird and felt like I was gonna roll my ankle. Fun day. We were hyped to ollie the newspaper stand. Oh yeah, I had a new board and wheels. Poser.
