Happy early birthday to wheel teamer @stumblin_steele , the proud new owner of #Rampy. It was delivered for his surprise party today so he got home from work and there was a ramp in the garage. Epic!!!

Moved Rampy to Josh’s house for his surprise party with the help of my awesome friends Riley, Jack and Carleigh. It went pretty smooth and we got it together pretty quick. Josh had no idea it was showing up at his house. So funny. After the party hype died down I skated it for awhile. Didn’t do much other then a hurricane stall. Carleigh almost got a back blunt. Riley almost got front noseblunt rewind. Jack did a bunch of pressure flips. Josh was hyped and started feeling out his ramp.

Then we met up with Drew and a fun crew of former Nebraska residents at Broomfield park. I avoided ollieing for the most part. Had some fun ride on noseslides to 270 out and at the end I skated the weird steep bank and did my first frontside grind on it. It was rad seeing Drew skate again, he is casual yet powerful. The back tails on the steep bank and brick quarterpipe were so good. Carleigh and Riley skated the pool for awhile. The double set got attacked for awhile too. Lots of tricks like nollie flip, hard flip, fakie ollie, ollie, back lip, back smith, all da basics. I wish my body would have been in shape to try it, because the hype was high and I think I could maybe have committed to it. Oh well.

Intended to go out to Rampy for my last session before it gets moved, but there were too many hornets in the garage. Ugh. So I went to “The Curb”. It’s my little retreat where I can skate super slow and dork around. The groin tear I have going has gotten worse so I tried not to ollie at all. I ended up getting a new one. “nollie” back tail shove (click the link for action packed video). It actually did hype me up, but the shove out part probably wasn’t good for my groin. I’m old. Then I went in and took Rampy apart while bundled up in case a hornet tried to get me. I was sweating like crazy. I’ll miss you Rampy.
