The good mistake.

Let me give you a run down of the last week.

Drove to the falls Monday morning. The reason behind this is for multiple reasons, but a BIG chuck of it was 2 tricks I wanted to do. I didn't know if I could do them so I figured if I could to them I might as well try at the park in the falls. I know in one of my earlier blogs I talked about how much I don't like entire videos based at a skate park. It's not that I wanted them to be ay a park, but it's easy to have what you need right there. Every single day. It's a lot different trying a smith on a box then trying a smith on a real ledge not ment for it. Peopel who skated pre-parks understand. Anyway, I got there and went to the park right away. Bought some beer and skated around. Chris made an appearance and I ollied the launch. I haven't ollied that thing in like 4 years haha. Next day I tried going to the park five times and everytime I started to drive there it rained. Finally fed up with it I drove to the park and drank in the car waiting for it to dry. Chris showed up and talked about how im hoping for something that wont happen. So we left.
The day I was to leave was amazing outside. Woke up at 9 and was at the park by 10:30 and got to work on my first trick. After a couple tries I realized it wasn't gonna happen. Did what I needed to to get the second one going and tried it. I did it, after an hour of trial and error. I was happy to do it on camera finally. I know it's not the greatest, but it's something not everyone tried to do. Landed it and drove home and now I'm really sore.

This video was of the day or two before I left. Adam filmed some new tricks here and I was pleased. Joel made an appearace(!) and kinda got a trick or two.




It's hard to explaine how hard these banks are. Steep and small. EVERY trick is hard and when you do a trick you should be proud. Adam and I were talking about how every trick that can be done on them have been done, yet everytime we go there shit always comes out.

This video is soo close to being "done" it makes me mad. By some act of god. I hope we can pull it out. Just looked at my part and I got almost 3 minutes. Pretty pumped.
