skate journal: Sol ramp after work for a bit (Jan 3, 2013)
Went to SOL after work to pick up a check. I brought my board and joined a couple young kids skating on the flat bottom. I wanted to actually skate the ramp and when I started doing so the kids started playing hacky sack and it would land on the ramp sometimes. Ugh. They skated the ramp a little, but it made it weird. I of course sucked. That ramp is so hard to me. I only did some back 50s basically. Then I skated flat with those dudes for a bit. Had a good first try treflip that kind of surprised me, but then I never landed another one. Had a good heelflip and a couple other basics when a couple other dudes showed up that wanted to actually skate the ramp. Rad. They were good skaters. The kids left and we had a fun session. We all slipped, slammed, complained about how hard the ramp is, etc. But had fun. I wussed out of a front d, but had some fakie 50 and fakie back smith stalls that made me kinda happy at least. I need to skate that ramp more.
