SkateNite Delicacy
Recipe for Rippage: Three 'Cretins, 3 boards, 1 set of pads (for the light weight 'Cretin), mix with one ramp (still reeking with that new Gnar smell) for 2 hours. Serve with water and Mountain Dew. Enjoy!
I can claim nothing but fun and 50-50s. Still missed a few, but I ain't skeered of 'em at all, at least not on the ramp. I did stick a well popped half cab 360 rock, once. Everything else I did was sketchin' but I still had a blast. I completel pussed out on attempting roll-ins. Patience, thin 'Cretin, patience.
As with most of us when heading to the Corydon "training ramp," Jon decided he needed to learn something new. "I think I'll try tail slides tonight..." and less than 90 minutes later he had 'em. Along with new frontside rock-n-rolls. Bugger! And pick a rail slide variation... so smooth... He's just stoked to be on a "mini vacation" here in DaVille. Skatin' all day everyday, with plans for a trip to Bloomington on Sunday... Welcome back to Louisville Jon!
Then of course we have ramp owner Kyle. We give him a lot of hell... but damn does he earn it! This was his 8th day in a row skating... so he was out of control! He was throwing everything. 4 or 5 different cess slides on the TajMaWall, all his standard high speed grinds and silky smooth rail slides, with a few blunt combos thrown in for the hell of it. Then out of no where he spins an "alley oop 360 rock-n-roll slide" (sliding backwards) all the way across the ramp (you figure it out...) Perfect. No sketch, no wheel bark, super smooth. Then he starts - and finishes 5 tries later - this funky 5-0 grind pointed up and over the deck (a salad grind?)... it looks damn hard. It's frustrating, especially when I'm struggling in a session, but I am trying to be more positive and encouraging to Mofo - you know, "Great run!" instead of "You suck you bastard!" Oh yeah, a couple of perfect KF fakies (back to back) and a "frontside smith stall to frontside rock-n-roll." WHAT? Hope he has a good lawyer, 'cause he's gonna get a letter from Ban This producer Stacy Peralta for copyright infringement!
Please buy that winning lotto ticket for Saturday Alice. I wanna be a ramp owner.

HaHa. That is a fine display of ball-breaking Kyle. Had a great session(s) at the park today. Kyle and I hit it from about 9-10am before he headed to work. I was planning on staying another hour or two at most but somehow found myself headed back to Skidzillaland around 3:30ish. Chris Higgins of 5-points fame and his girlfriend Megan ended up rolling in around noon and I sessioned with them for quite a while. Been running into them a lot at the Powell pool so it was cool to see them again in the Ville. I started getting little backside pops over the 4ft hip in the deepend area thanks to encouragement from Chris. He rips. When I got back to the pad I scarfed down a "Veggie Loaf" dinner that Sharon had in the freezer and I must say it was mighty tasty. What a day. Looking forward to another LOOOOOONG session tomorrow with everyone. Life is good.
