skate journal: Rockcreek ramp with Carleigh (June 24, 2012)
Pretty tired from a late night before and lethargic from the heat I met up with Carleigh around 6pm to go skate the Rockcreek ramp. There was actually some cloud cover and it was pretty nice out. I started off sucking like no other. It took four tries to do an axle stall. Ugh. I had been in the mood for street skating so I guess I wasn’t ready for this. Carleigh pretty much did all her moves in the first few runs. Well, everything but front disasters, which is my fault because I had them for the day. After my slow start I skated decent and had fun. Almost got a Joe Hamilton (fakie 50 to rock ‘n roll). Did some more wannabe smith grinds. Had fun. Tried a bunch of kickflip f/s boardslides on the flatbar at the very end. Got remotely close, but mostly just lost a lot of griptape.
