Couple different ones for couple different reasons.......
tried to go out and even start to film a little bit with a homie who is made some pretty rad little videos and projects for our little town's scene, tried to get out of my comfort zone for once. so since switch front noseslides felt pretty good at my local ledge spot at the university i tried to bigspin out of it to fakie- so 270 shove/ body goes 90. felt good right off the bat, then took me an hour on a hot summer evening- homie somehow messed up the filming. since i wasn't happy with how i did it i tried it longer- another 30 minutes maybe and another friend who stayed over for holidays filmed it really good- i was more stoked that he filmed the trick, than on actually landing it clean. great sesh all around
snother spot around uni i wanted to do regular frontside noseslide biggie going back to regular- hungover sunday mission, huuuuge building across the street, everybody living there is at homeon a sunday. either students hungover worse than i was or old people who i thought would call the polive in an instant.
start trying the trick and don't get close but see an old lady look out the window- i apologise for being loud on a sunday but she did not mind. random prople walking by for two hours of me trying the trick- everybbody hyping me up like " you can do it, man!" do your thing" wich is not common for round here. After two hours i landed on the board for the 5th time maybe, rolled away!
Skating out local park/ spot 8 or so years back- would go there everyday during summer, have 4 beers during every session and lots of water- back then i was on some weird thing that i would be able to skate all day with no shade for some reason and felt really good on my board. Dude came by in the evening who wasn't kinda stoked on me hanging with a different shops crowd more than his and tells me that he only ever sees me drinking- emptied my beer and straight up and did a nollie heelflip noseslide on the kneehigh ledge first try- he acted like he did not see it, i continued to skate till even later that day!
couple years later there's no bad blood, when we see each other but back then it sure felt good to show him up like that
Edit: johnes, that new deal or nosepick shove thing sure looked satisfying
