skate journal: Rampy fun with Jake (April 22, 2013)
Another snowy and cold night in late April. Will it ever end? Seriously though I have seen plenty of snow in April before, but it’s not normally accompanied with temperatures in the low 20s. Ridiculous. Luckily though I have a ramp in my garage. Jake hit me up and we made it happen. I skated a few runs before he showed. I have a couple gnarly blisters from my new basketball shoes and new skate shoes I was trying to break in. Ouch. I didn’t do anything special before Jake got there and ended up tossing some darts around for awhile. When Jake showed it was on though. We both skated hard knowing we didn’t have a lot of time and pounded out tricks quick. Jake has pivot fakie every try now. Didn’t have backside blunt this time though. I didn’t have any new tricks, but stacked up most of the ones I have. I guess I got a fakie front smith which is very rare for me. Such an awkward trick. And a few front tails. Fun night.
