40 dinner

Today was a big day. Went to Broomfield park a little after 10 am on a super nice day. The goal was to film 40 tricks in a fun way that makes fun of me and highlights how lucky I am to know so many amazing people and skaters. It went better then expected and was a total blast to do. There is gonna be a video of it so I don’t need to list the tricks I did and ruin the surprise. I’ll just say I did 40 tricks and it took me almost 8 hours to do them. I obviously got really tired and could not be picky with how I landed tricks. There were a few where I was so tired and could hardly do them, but whatevs, it was a blast. Big thanks to Chad and Jack for not giving up on a few of the harder ones. And of course, thanks to everyone that came and showed me up! Dinner and videos at Crisis after was a blast too. What a good day. So many awesome people.

skate journal: some pj / moose inspired flat ground in front of the house (April 27, 2013)

Ollie turned 11 years old on this day! So the day was full with different activities for his birthday. I watched the PJ vs Moose game of SKATE and got super hyped to skate some flatground. PJ is my favorite and seeing him land tricks that I’ve never seen him do in all my nerdness was inspiring. It’s not just the tricks though, it’s how he does them. The Rick flip and nollie cab flip were amazing. It was super nice outside, actually so warm that the street had softened up in places making it slow. I didn’t really have the option of going anywhere so I just dealt with it. I did some of the basics, tried a line of fakie bigfliip, halfcab flip, treflip, but couldn’t get the treflip with that. Had some good fakie bigflips though. Tried quite a few rare tricks like nollie big flip (landed on one and almost rode away), fakie bigger flip and some more. I was fading near the end and used my skate dice app to come up with trick ideas. Kinda fun hucking tricks I’ve never landed. Got close to front heel. Then it was time for Ollie’s Bday party to start so I had to go in.
