skate journal: a couple spots with Jack (Sept 27, 2011)
I picked up Jack around 8 and was greeted with some guacamole that Jack made. Jack makes guac? Yes, and it’s super good! Ladies take note. Anyways, we drove for a bit eating chips and guac with no place on our minds and ended up at a new school that has some three stairs, a somewhat tall pyramid ledge and a lot more. I was feeling really rusty. After boardsliding the side of the ledge, Jack and I started playing some weird transfer front board games over the ledge. Jack got front board to hurricane transfer. Ok, front board is a stretch since we were stalling. I eventually got front board pop over to fakie and Jack got my back with a front board to hurricane to shove transfer. We high fived and moved on. Some more chips and guac and we ended up at the ledge spot off 30th & Pearl. There Jack did about 5 million long back 5-0s to back 180 out that were all amazing regardless of what he says. I struggled at back 50s like I always do when there is a downhill approach. I got a couple noseslides one was followed with a little kickflip to fakie on the bank below. And a couple crooks. One was followed by a b/s flip on the bank. Fun. Jack tried a bunch of back 5-0 bigspins, but ended up approaching Max’s fall down record. I wish I would have had more energy then I did. Oh well, it was fun and we played a mediocre game of SKATE before eating the rest of the chips and guac. Yum.
