skate journal: safeway ledges by crisis with neil and rob (May 29, 2012)
Posted in Skate Journal on May 30th, 2012 by corpoWoke up at 5:00 am, worked, took a brief nap then picked up Rob/Neil and headed toward Crisis for the safeway ledges. Neil was Neil and killed it out of the gate. Ollies over boxes right away, front 50, front lip, front tail on the ledge, halfcabs over boxes. Struggled with back crooks. Rob hasn’t been able to skate much lately, but decided to get his skate feet back by doing tricks like front nose 270 out and cab front nose. Wowsers. Struggled with switch boardslides for awhile, but banged out a good one. I was struggling big time in the beginning and couldn’t ollie a simple little crate. About the time Neil was wrapping things up I started to feel good. I got a grip of ledge tricks total. Back crooks, back noseslide, noseslide fakie, back 50, front 50, front 50 shove, front 50 front 180 out, front crooks jib to fakie, kickflip back 50 (a few of these!), front 5-0, front 5-0 shove (took a long time, but the one I got felt so good) and lastly a front 5-0 front 180 which I am the most hyped on as I haven’t done it in forever. Other tricks I was hyped on was kickflipping the little crate, an ollie over the tall box and not being at a skatepark.
