Gimpy's Got It...
...Goin' On.
(Same Sunday session as his pics below.) The man was rippin'. It was a fun session. Skidzilla busted out the marathon runs, and OMP chased him for half of one. FS pivot to tail came easy to Dave. Paul was rippin' all his grinds and bs air (see pic below). We all spent alot of time in the deep end, and then Gimpy stepped it up with this...
See... told ya. Indeed defending his Golden Gnar Award. But we ain't been to Arizona yet punk...
So that lit a fire for me to get the new board gripped and ready to ride. This is it... an old school PowellPeralta Ray Barbee Tarot Card Deck NOS... that's right collectors, I'm gonna SKATE IT!
So a Midweek new board session at MoFo's was in order... Skidz, Travio, and Tony also attended to rip the mini ramp... so we thought... Tony took a couple of hard slams right off the bat. Then Skidz... then I body slammed the flat... The ramp gods were upset we had neglected this work of art. We'll be back sooner next time, we swear. Show us mercy! Their brutal appetite apparently satisfied, the ripping began. Travio was so defiant that he never padded up, at all. And he hit all the grinds he wanted, no problem. I was super stoked with the new wood and once I decided to avoid the slam inducing fs slashers, I was able to pull out the old nollies on the wall, good board slides and felt pretty solid on my runs. Skidzilla was gonna learn fs 5-0s if it killed him. 'Bout did... but he nutted up and eventually the slams stopped, completely. One run included three BS 5-0s and two FS... most excellent! Way to go punk! And of course, MoFo was killin' it. Even though he was having "adjustment issues" with his ceramic bearings... yea, whatever... never the same cess slide variation on the TajMaWall, high speed grinds, and switch 270 stall, and switch 360 rock... I'd say he's gettin' used to them...
Work sucks... but skateboarding shows me that life is good... it's always good...
Oh, and then today I find this video, which is the Greatest Ad EVER!!
See, your life is better for reading Concretins.com... unless of course you don't skate... and in that case, what are you waiting for?

Gimpy, did you take a tumble in that last run? Either way, congrats on hitting that!

Yup, took a tumble indeed. One of my scariest slams ever. No major damage done though. Thanx.
