skate journal: street tranny then skatepark street (April 15, 2014)
On a super nice day I met up with Jack and Carleigh after work at the “Goodtimes Barrier”. Carleigh had gotten close to wallie’ing over it recently and wanted to go back and get it. When I got there she was already in celebration mode having done it a few times. Sick! We stayed there awhile. Jack was skating flat a lot and doing some barrier tricks like wallie, wallie front 180, back pivot some other cool stuff. I started hucking kickflip wallride and it seemed pretty realistic. Omi showed up and did a few wallrides. I ended up getting a couple kickflip wallrides. They weren’t great or very high on the barrier, but they were fun and put me in a good mood.
Then we had a good meal at Wahoos and chilled with Fuzz at Crisis for a bit. I played with some slappy noseslide tricks like noseslide to fakie revert back to forward. Jack did it too, but much better and included a crook. I also did a silly switch nose to forward then lift back up to front lip. Fun. Off to the Broomfield park we went. I waited too long to write this entry so I don’t remember a whole lot of the session. Carleigh and I started in the flow bowl which was fun until a bunch of people showed up there. Then carleigh skated the pool and I skated the steep bank with Fuzz and Jack. Jack did pivot fakie. Fuzz did front slash and something else I can’t remember right now. I got a front rock. Neil was cruising all over. I played a game of SKATE with Neil, Darin and Fuzz that Darin won. I was skating pretty well, but kept getting stuck at treflip. Skated the slanted brown ledge. Fuzz was doing board transfer 180 and halfcab off. Sick. Jack did noseslide shove to nose manual. I did boardslide transfer to manual (hyped me up!) and almost got it with a front 180 out. Carleigh battled back disasters on the brick qp. Most people finished on the quartapotty or trying to ollie a trash can, but I tried more kickflips on the hump then front 50 the pier 7 ledge. I kind of got the line. Fun day.
