I was half an hour late to meet up with Rob at Red Curbs on what was supposed to be a rainy night, but instead it was just cloudy and a little cool. Rob had been there for awhile so he was warmed up and doing nollie 50s already. I warmed up with some ride on front 50s and some regular front 50s. Then we kinda skated the non-red-curb for awhile. Rob posted up on some back lipslides (the slide aint no typo!) and landed a few of them. So sick! And with Rob’s steeze too, dang. I eventually got a front lipslide. I had to cheat over the corner of course and when I tried to get on in the middle of the curb I cracked my board a little. Doh, although still totally skateable. Rob took off. I debated going somewhere else, but ended up staying. I tried a few lines. Ollie a box, front lip the non-red curb, kick back t on the red curb. Never got the kick back t. Also tried front 50 the red curb then kickflip noseslide the 2 stair ledge. Never got the kick noseslide, but somewhat close. My flatground game was sucking. Well, especially treflips. I was also getting a lot of wheelbite which was annoying considering how small my wheels were worn down to. That will be the end of the Royals and their short lived stint. Well, at least until next week probably. I ended by trying to get a new flip trick. I tried heelflip body varials for awhile, but couldn’t commit. Then did a sex change to get warmed up and tried them fakie. Got one. Lamest new flipper yet this year.
