skate journal: ihop with jake (feb 25, 2014)
A cold and snowy night. Jake was angry about some girl problems and after everyone else bailed on Rampy he talked me into going to skate flatground at the Ihop garage. I was pretty sore from skating so many days in a row again (8). We started out pretty basic and worked our way up. Started with boardslides through a couple skate stoppers, kickflips, 180s, fakie flips and halfcab flips. I forgot how fun this garage is. It’s downhill. I normally walked back up. We kickflipped the curb. Jake normally followed his with more tricks then me, although I eventually got a long one together with quite a few flippers in it like varial flip, fakie bigflip, b/s flip. I don’t remember exactly. At one point I got down to the wall at the end and failed at a wallride because I can’t do them. Jake yelled down that we should do a physical challenge and land a wallride. The funny part was he walked down the garage to the wallride instead of skated down. I’ll cut him some slack though because he was bumming. I never got very close to the wallride, he got a couple though. Had some more fun doing manuals around the corner, ollieing the little median, bailing 360 flips. The thing I was most hyped on was going into the hill fast and actually ollieing the median rather then wussing out. Then we threw snowballs at a circle on the wall.
