skate journal: research area with sean on a cold day (dec 1, 2018)
Posted in Skate Journal on December 3rd, 2018 by corpoTaking a break from editing Stubborns I met up with Sean at the research area. I got there first and went over and rode down the Max stairs a few times. Then as I rolled down the hill this car rolled right behind me all weird preventing me from having fun down the hill. Sean and I hit the ledge for a bit. I didn’t skate it too well. We didn’t really hit it for long. But it was long enough for Sean to do 5-0s, tailslides, etc all easy. We had done a few lines up and the curb and stuff. I don’t think I got a crooks even. Then we went off to cruise around the building as the ledge area was in the shade and a bit of a wind tunnel. We rode down the stairs a few times. Sean ollied up all of them first try. We ended up at the 2 up 4 down area and had some fun. Lines got longer and we ended up dorking out a flip trick, silly ledge trick, up the 2 then down the 4. Sean had a few lines ending in 180s and nollie. His banger ender was switch heel, halfcab noseslide, ollie up, kickflip down. My best was something like pop shove, nollie tail, ollie up (with a little feeble scratch since I can’t ollie backside very well) then ollie the 4. We chatted about trucks and stuff for awhile after that.
