After a long day of filming I definitely needed to get my skate on. Unfortunately it was snowing like crazy outside. I went for Rampy and around 11 I went out for a little session before Ollie got home from his friends. I just kind of cruised for awhile doing different tricks and got pretty far into my bag. Oh yeah, I added another layer of wood to the wide deck so the coping wasn’t as huge and it was really nice for disasters. I fell intro a rut of trying blunt to axle stall. I never got it. When I would fall to the inside of the ramp I would do a flip trick. I got a few treflips, but never the blunt to axle stall. I gave up and did blunt to rock ‘n roll. I’m too much of a pansy to go to fakie. Went in for lunch, then ended up going to hang at Meta with Fuzz for our last time in Meta before moving.

Later on I hit Rampy while in a horrible mood after dinner. I brought some speakers out and hooked up my phone to crank up some Pissed Jeans. Things got better real quick. It’s fun skating Rampy solo because I’ll do a flip trick between every run or just try kickfip 50s over and over. I basically rotated hardflip attempts on flat, kickflip axle stall and regular runs over and over. Never got the kickflip stall, but came really close. It’s so hard to flip on tranny that tight. Had some good runs. Did a front feeble pretty quick. Hardflip attempts kept getting closer and closer and then I landed one. It was sketchy with both feet next to each other and the board only spun like 90 degrees and I had to put my hands down to keep from falling, but I’m 39 and I’ve never done a hardflip before. I was super hyped. Gonna keep working on that one. I skated some more, did some tricks, came close to more hardflips and went inside in a much better mood.
