skate journal: Off The Couch hammer session (July 25, 2012)
Carleigh, Jack and I met Brian and Neil at the old Lville tech center bank to wall spot. My OCD about board sizes had taken over and I went big, setup a 8.38 deck with some Thunder 149s I found in my garage a few days ago. Yeah I suck, I’ll give my 3 day old 8.1 to someone worthy though. Jack and I found a nearby different bank/dork spot that was super fun. He was doing cool lines of ollie over a curb, ollie back over it, then bigspin pivot to fakie. Not sure he got the big piv fak. I had a couple back tails, front board stalls that were fun. Then we went to filming as Brian wanted to do alley oop wallride. He got super close, but broke his board which messed with him. That’s what happen when you don’t skate Nulls. Jack on the other hand was on a null, and he got a banger of a trick. Ha. I was feeling out the board and rolled my ankle on a nollie shove. Ugh. Somehow and I have no idea how, it didn’t hurt. I guess having rolled it numerous times over the years helps out for something. I tried a couple wallrides, but never really committed to trying it. Brian and Neil left then we just tried manny tricks over and over. Jack did some neat balancing acts. Carleigh scraped the crap out of her tail. I might have done nose manny front 180 out, but I think I touched. Posed nollie bigspin out a couple times. Manualled a taller part of the pad. Couldn’t nose manny it though like Jack did every try. We left for trivia night, but Jack and I skated a curb in front of the liquor store for a few minutes. It ruled.
