skate journal: brief solo rampy (Feb 18, 2014)
On my final night of being Mr Mom I was growing agitated by my lack of freedom and needed to skate. Not that I didn’t get to skate over the weekend, but it was limited and not skating at night is hard for me. So I hit Rampy. The winds were howling which effects my arthritis. It’s a pain. I started by skating the ramp. I was doing ok, but a string of failed back 50s almost resulted in a temper fit. I wanted to do a front tail revert. But I only got a couple front tails. Oh well. I was having fun on flatground too. Got kickflips, treflip and had a loop with a bunch of tricks back to back that hyped me up. I felt like doing flippers and I felt like skating the ramp. And then it hit me, why the hell don’t I do both? So I tried a b/s flip below the coping for quite some time before getting one. I was really hyped. It was well below the coping, but still hard because of how tight Rampy is and how hard setting up is.
