This was on thursday but anyway I was'nt planning on skating that day cause weather.com said it was gonna be cold. Then I ended up checking it again anyway and it was 35 so I contemplated a bit, I decided to skate anyway cause since its December warm days like that are rare so I had a great session that day. I woke up on friday and it had snowed and it was like 17 so I felt really good about taking that opportunity.

Only had my cruiser today and I didn't feel like going outside so I ended up skating in the house. I dropped in off my rocking chair a few times which was pretty fun. I got on top of an old fat t.v. of mine that was on top of a dresser to drop in but I pussed out.
Edit: I just tried to caveman over a chair and ate shit.

long manny pad. I laughed, but it was fucking impressive!

I keep finding new ways and obstacles to skate at my go to parking lot spot. It's like a gift that keeps on giving!

I just got home from the skatepark by my house. When I showed up, two of my friends started a fire in the middle of the park. I sat down, got warm, did some no comply stuff and then left.

A week ago I landed my first 360 flip. It was great because I was having a pretty relaxed skate since it was so hot that day, then I just got up and told myself that I was going to do a tre flip today. Anyway, I got one and since then they have been getting easier and easier everyday, today they felt particularly nice.

Not skating for two months because of school and other bullshit then getting the satisfaction of landing tricks. So fun!

Had to bump this amazing thread back up. Every single post in it is enjoyable. I couldn't skate today because of the pain in my foot so I had fun fixing the edges on the shitty grip job that I did yesterday.

No dry spots today, but a couple days ago I was doing manuals across this frozen grass planter. On that Sweet Lou shit.

All my skate bros were tied up on Saturday, so I just spent several hours skating around downtown Sacramento by myself. Hadn't done a downtown solo skate in some time. Just pushing around, enjoying the weather, doing simple tricks and having a blast.

I enjoyed waterlogging and filthying up my board beyond recognition. I hadn't skated in almost a week and the forecast contains no sun, so I went out anyway. Ollied a 4 stair into a puddle then found a sheltered yet gross area in a parkade. Some dude parked far from me, got out and stared at me awhile, then got back in and parked further. On my way home some drunk dude leaving the bowling alley talked to me about winning a slalom trophy for skating back in '76. It was a weird sesh but felt way more "real" than one at the skatepark.

Went to the skatebox again which is always fun.

Everyone was killing it, me and a friend had been trying different tricks for a while, then landed them both at the same time. super stoke!

The look on my mates face when he landed a perfect hard flip
in our game of skate.. It was epic.

did my first hardflip second try on T playing my friend who always does them. now i think i have them figured out, when i never thought i would ever even come close. felt so awesome seeing the board actually do a hardflip while i was right on top of it

Promised I would lay off the posting, but I just saw the Bones Brigade documentary and was blown away. Thanks for that! I love shred-sledding and I always will... That movie reminded me why.

Aside from that, Rodney Mullen is an awesome human being.

BraveUlysses · « **Reply #446 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:09:57 PM »

Skated until my board broke in the middle. It wasn't fully broken in the middle, just sagging so I ended doing a bunch of caveman boardslides until I finally finished it off.

Climbing up this backside curved wall down a little hill. Wanted to skate that spots for so long, and finally took a little piece of it.
It's pretty steeps, i'd say like a 100 degree angle, so not quite a straight wall, but still steep-steep-steep. I think i got up the wall to about head height....maybe two metres. So dope. Such a fun thing to do.

Was at the park and saw this 13 year old kid that I see there from time to time. A year or two back he had just started skating and was just learning how to 5050 curbs and learning flatground kickflips. This was my first time seeing him at the park in a good year or so and he did a hurricane on the ledge first try, switch ollied the 8 stair, varial heeled the pyramid, and did a bunch of other gnarly stuff. It blew my mind how much he progressed in such little time. I was stoked for him, but at the same time it kinda bummed me out. Seeing a little kid get just as good as me in such a short period of time is kinda disheartening.

But then after that I played some friends in SKATE and landed everything first try and got a few tricks back that I had lost a month before, such a good feeling. Had fun, landed everything clean, playfully talked shit back and forth with my friends as we were playing, fed off each others energy.... it all reminded me of why I love skating so much in the first place.
