skate journal: rainy/snow day sol ramp sucking (Oct 4, 2013)
Went to SOL on the first real cold day of the season so far. I arrived to a “back in 5 minutes sign” so I pushed around a little and ended up in the alley behind 7-11. There was a cool little new plastic ledge east coast spot. The asphalt even sucked, but the plastic felt slick. I tried a few quick ups to front tail, got close, but then sol opened back up and we went in there. Another dude named Jacob I think skated too. I sucked. Straight up sucked. Dave killed it. I suppose I mention that every time I skate with him, but man he really does skate tranny super good. I don’t even know how many millions of tricks he did. Man it’s embarrassing skating with him there. I did a few more of those switch flips while holding onto the ceiling and got a flatground treflip. On the ramp I got to the point where I was trying front smiths, but Dave had to leave for diaper duty so I left too. I should mention that the Jacob dude was nice and fun to skate with.
