@boredzinejp @joerhamilton @the_neviathan and I had an epic “vert” session last week. Its kind of hard to distinguish Josh and I, but he’s the one actually skating vert. 😂 #cloggingyourfeedwithstokepartdeux #vert

Just look at the list of spots we skated in one day. What were we thinking???? Anyway, Joe, Nate, Josh and I started our day at the infamous SVR. We were there at 10am. Josh was cool about letting us play on the bottom with no expectations or attitude. The three of us joked and tried to run up and hang on the coping. I think I was the only one that didn’t touch it. We pumped around. Man it’s a lot of work on 51mm wheels. Ha. Josh dropped in right away. It’s insane. It’s 13.5 feet tall! Josh did some airs, grinds right out of the gate. He even dropped in on the extension which is so gnarly. Might have to start calling him Joshy Way. The 3 “street” skaters kept it to the qp and well under vert. There will be a video post above too at some point. We all took some time to get different tricks. Joe did the silly hat trick rock, f/s halfcabs, front shove to fakie, switch front shove, fakie front shove and a kickflip to fakie. Nate was hilarious. He was doing flatground kickflips and then turning around to do a kickflip on the qp. It was pure comedy the way he was falling. He did have some good front slashes on the little qp. I was having fun trying different ways to get hyped for a kickflip. Front slash, axle stall, front rock. I ended up getting a line that felt incredible. Axle stall, weak f/s ollie, b/s flip, kickflip to fakie. When you see the footage you’ll see I was like 10 feet under vert, but it felt incredibly fun. Oh yeah, I had a couple early grabs that we jokingly compared to Josh’s. For all of those wondering, I soundly beat Josh in the ‘Who did it better?’ poll. Ha ha. What a fun session.

Then we went to a park called Roxhill and joined up with Justin and Nolan. After a few cruises around everyone else decided everyone should boardslide the tiny rail. I was scared. Ha. Luckily when it came my time to do it I was able to get it. Josh went on to murder the bank to ledge. Front 50, back 50, front 180 180, back feeble (I think), crooks to fakie and probably like 10 more tricks. Nolan had a sick crooks on it, some rad lines with feebles on the flat bar, back tail or smith the tall qp, noseblunt the bank so perfectly. Joe was getting in on the bank to ledge too. Front 50, front 50 180 out. Nate, Nolan, Justin, Josh nose manualled the manny pad. I had fun doing front 50s on it. I never got a bank to ledge trick. I did have some fun long back 50s or 5-0s on the bank at the top. We played a game of SKATE. Oldest to youngest again. I didn’t do as well, but it did get further into the order. Josh got everyone with front 180 one foot. I came surprisingly close to getting it. I forget what I got out on. Nolan got a turn and did his patented ‘Shit Flip’ which resulted in a bunch of people trying it at the park. Pretty funny. There was a rad crew there. One dude that looked like Kalis who was destroying the ledge. Halfcab noseslide nollie heel out. I tried a few noseslide 270 shoves, but then it was time to go.

We split up for awhile. Josh, Joe and I went to Judkins. We lasted long enough for me to roll in on a 4 foot section and do a disaster on a tiny qp. Joe did a front 50. But we weren’t feeling the vibes at that park.

So we went to Benefit which was a rad park, but I was too dead for it. It had some weird tiny hip that was fast one way and slow the other, a bunch of ledges, a qp, manual pad, pole jam and some angry kids playing basketball. Joe went to work on the ledge. He got a couple new tricks. Front lip to front 50 shove out, front lip front shove front board out, smith 180 out. Josh was lining out the quarterpipe with every transition trick, hitting the manual pad with manual, nose manual or nose manual 180 then popping some ollies over the hip. His friend Ken joined us for a bit and did some stylee qp tricks. I did a b/s flip over the hip, a couple qp tricks, couldn’t ollie up the manual pad or ledges and then spent a long time trying no comply pole jams which I ended up getting right as it was time to go. Fun ender for the day.

Or so I thought. We ended up at Bellevue that night too. I was so beat. It was Josh, Nate, Joe and I and we met up with Pat. I was so sore and tired I could hardly ollie onto the 4″ tall hubba. I don’t know how everyone else was still popping. Nate and Josh wallied a plastic barrier. Nate did his boardslide transfer a bunch and some manauals up and down the bank. Josh wallied over the cement barrier. Joe was lining out the ledge on the bottom with tricks over the hip, even doing back 50s on the drop down ledge. I don’t remember much more until everyone but Joe started messing around with the ride on stair grinds. Easily my favorite part of the night. Ha. We normally went frontside on the 2nd stair. I had a fun front 50 back 180 into the bank. Pat was going for smith. Josh had to go backside. he did like 3 tricks in a row at one point. Back 50, back 50 to bank ride, back 50 front 180 out. We ended as Joe boardslid the rail. Then we went and loaded up on crappy food as we had burned so many calories skating all day.

#cloggingyourfeedwithstokepartdeux might be over, but I’ve got like 10 more of these to go. @boredzinejp @shopdeckcollisioncrew @nolancormier @the_neviathan @justin_gollmer @joerhamilton

Went to a new park in the morning with some rain threatening, but never actually rained. The park was cool. Justin joined us as did John and Nolan a bit later. People warmed up in the manner that they do. Mine was a rock kickflip to fakie on a little wedge. Josh was doing real tricks on quarterpipes and stuff. Joe and Nate were getting at the ledge. I was hyped on the rock kickflip to fakie even though it took awhile. Then we all played a game of SKATE (before John and Nolan arrived). We went oldest to youngest so I was up first. I went through a few basics. A couple letters were had. Then it was Justin who got a couple letters on me, but I was happy that I somehow landed switch front shove and nollie back bigspin. I think the heelflip got everyone. Next up was Josh who I think got everyone with back 360 except Justin. I was at SKAT when Josh did a frontside flip turn around that was counted as a frontside flip. I did a very defensive kickflip spin 180 that wasn’t counted as a frontside flip. At least I landed going backwards. Oh well. I was feeling pretty good at that point, did a few backside grinds on the noping that were fun and then everything started to hurt. I just filmed everyone after that. It was fun to watch. Everyone was ripping. The triples boardslide was so sick.

Then we went to Kenmore after a lunch. This park is so sick. Mellow hip, solid ledge, mellow bank, weird obstacle, mellow qps and a bowl. Nate and I tried to skate, but we couldn’t. We were too sore. Argh. We sat for awhile. It was a fun session to watch. Justin, Josh and Nolan were ripping the spine in and out of the bowl. Joe went in on the ledges. The hubba front 50 was gnar. Josh had some rad manuals across the weird thing then 360s over the hip. After awhile John said he wanted to make a clip of everyone starting by youngest going to oldest. Since me and Nate only skate for the camera we got up and started trying to skate. But actually it did work as motivation to struggle through the pain. Nate was doing 5-0 180’s on the bottom of the weird thing into the bank. I hucked tricks I’ll never land over the hip. Well, I guess I got one really bad b/s flip. Flipping the board with the wider trucks was hard. Hucking f/s cab heelflips feels possible. Gotta keep going at that one. I was nervous when it was my time to film the line. I was trying no comply 270s over the hip, but gave up and thought I’d struggle with kickflips. Somehow I was 3-3 on kickflips though. The first two were garbage though. After the filming Joe did like 100 tricks on the ledge. The best part was him actually working on front 50s and taking his hat off and putting it through his legs. Ha ha. Justin’s crook on the ledge was so good. I dorked around with Nolan at on point doing little carves over the rock and doing handplants. My first attempt was funny because I ran right into the rock and dove over it. At the end Nate was trying a Suciu trick of 180 nose manual switch 180 out on the weird thing. He kind of landed it. Then we retired for food and rest.

Joe and I spent the morning making it impossible for Josh to get any work done while he was “working from home”. Then on a lunch break we went to Josh’s stomping ground Green Lake (Lower Woodlands) skatepark. We have an ongoing joke about this park because I don’t like it much. Would that change this time around? Nope. Ha. It took awhile before I got annoyed though. It’s just one of those parks you need to skate a lot. Or at least to me, Joe was having fun. Josh was ripping. Tricks on the tiny vert qps, grinds around the bank to curbs, spine transfers, beanplants, lipslides, slappy crooks to fakie, front nose the tall ledge, solid crooks the tall ledge, manual and nose manual the narrow bump to ledge, front 50 and front tail the pyramid ledge, totally bolts 360 flip out of a rounded bump. Dude was ripping. Joe had some tall front 50s, I think boardslid down a rail, got a halfcab flip out of the bump to end it. I had a warm up line of wallie up onto the narrowish ledge, kickflip on the mellow bank, noseslide the pyramid ledge, got a b/s flip out of the bump, got a nollie varial flip on the top area (was hoping for nollie tre though) and rode around a lot avoiding weird obstacles.

@nolancormier is so fun to skate with. #cloggingyourfeedwithstokepartdeux

After distracting Josh some more Nate and Nolan rolled into town and we went to Northgate. Nolan’s friend John would meet us and then Brett. The people already there skating were rad. I was quite sore. Argh. Joe and Nate went to work on the ledges. Nate’s long back 5-0s are amazing. He was lining them out with no complies on the round bank. It ruled seeing Nolan skate again. He destroys. I skated the barrier thing with Nolan at one point. He ollied into it, did pivot fakie first try and blunt bigspin. I did the rock ‘n rolls and the tiniest front slash imaginable. Nate did the pole jam 50 which was nuts. This was after someone else did it during a nearby car wreck that distracted us and he ran into Nate and still landed it. Joe did fakie 50 fakie ollie out then started hucking fakie 50 fakie flip out. He would get it! I didn’t really do much of anything now that I think about it. Tried halfcab crooks for awhile. John was all over in a rad way. Nolan had super long back tails, the kickflip on top of the oval middle after a 360. Brett skated the ledge. Nate ended the session with a textbook Janoski flip on the round bank. Then it was off to Treepeople!!!
