This dude should have more love from the industry.

On what would have been my dad’s 67th birthday I headed out to Rampy on a cold and snowy night for a bit. I had been thinking of boneless disasters throughout the day and wanted to give it a try. After some warming up and some failed attempts at no comply to tail I realized I will probably never to a boneless disaster. I settled with a few frontside ollies, one of which might have been at coping level. I was trying to avoid flatground, but ended up doing a few kickflips and then some 360 shoves which is a rare one for me. Tried a few 540 shoves for the heck of it then to my surprise Ollie comes out with his board to skate.

Ollie was in his Broncos Champ Bailey shirt so I called him Ramp Bailey. So funny. He skated Rampy faster then I remember him in the past and he had some back and front slashes, his patented fakie ollies and body varials and some first try rock ‘n rolls both ways.

I have been so obsessed with skateboarding lately. I’m not sure what’s going on, but all day at work I thought I might be able to get home before the rain/snow starts. Nope. So I ended up at Red Curbs as I knew it would be dry and wouldn’t be after the snow. My warm up period was shorter then normal. Someone waxed the heck out of the main red curb and as you can see by the photo the main non-red curb had a car parked right near it. Doh. So I did a lot of slappies up the curb cut and little slappy nose/tail slides. I had a run of front 50, front tail, b/s flip. Only the front 50 was done decent. Got a front lip or two, front 50 back 180 out. Messed around with switch front noseslides and swith front boards where I came out to forward. Got some back 50s, got a kick back tail, almost some hurricanes. Started grabbing the styrofoam boxes out of the trash and piling them up. The box alone was hard at first, then the next layer took a long time and I have no idea how I got over the box with two cover things on it. It’s not tall by most peoples standards, but it is for me. I ended with some flippers. Tried a few new ones, but didn’t get close, got treflip and f/s flip and drove home in the new snow stoked on skating and the fact I actually landed a few things. The wind really effects my arthritis and it wasn’t windy at all. I guess the day before when it was super windy I should just feel lucky I was able to skate at all.
