skate journal: snow piles (feb 24, 2015 day 55)

westgate type shit

yeah max

It was rather nice out after work. I stopped by research center on the way and was hyped to see some dry. I started at the top dorking around down the stairs. Tried a line of ollie the snow pile then front 180 into the first stair and ride switch down them. Only managed a stair or two switch. It was scary. And as you can see I had trouble ollie’ing that little snow pile. In my defense there was very little runway and very many cracks. After that I did front 180 the snow pile, switch front 180 onto the first step, ride down them and back 180 off the last one. It took a long time, but it was indeed fun.

pathetic

Then I hit the downhill sidewalk for awhile. Failed back 180s over a tiny snow pile for awhile. Did them in lines with a couple basic flippers. Then tried hard to ollie the smallest part of this snow gap. Snow gaps are one of my favorite parts of winter skating. Wait, the only part I like. Anyways, I tried to go big over the big part of the pile, but that wasn’t a reality. I managed the little part after several tries. Then I did a fun line of ollie up the curb (over a snow pile), kickflip on flat, ollie the gap. I went home.
