Skate Session Notes
Monday, 28 June 2004
italy
Very fun today, i tryed to get a combo on film with a rail flip to rail in but i got stoped by a student from italy. Watch the clip here My Video. I did get a the combo on film in my garden but, there was a gap in the wood and i kept getting stuck in that crack so it was very sketchy! To sketchy to post online! "i like this trick"... He said

I skated all day with this italian boy and it was good fun. and the tennis net in the background, he ollied it.

Another rainy day
Arg, once agian in the lovely and sunny English Rivera, it's raining. Well it's not raining hard more of a drizzle just enough to stop me from being on my board all day, but I have a cunning plan. Placing a sheet upon the floor, when it rains the floor underneath is still dry. When the stops for 5-15 minutes I run out to the dry spot and skate as fast as I can. To make sure my well placed dry spot isn't going to get wet. I run out in a different pair of shoes and when I get tp the dry spot I change my shoes and skate in nice dry fresh shoes. When the rain begins to fall again. I return back inside and sit at my computer talking on msn till it drys up again.

So what did I do today? Well I did another Rail to Rail, that must make a grand total of 6/7 now. I also tryed to think of different types of ways of getting into rail, and different things to do while in rail. So i've been having fun. I've got to go now because it looks like the rain is stopping again. Time to go skate for 5-15 minutes.

Rainy Day 15 minute skate session!
Mood:  surprised
Normally it's nice and sunny in June, but no not today. Heavy rain and high winds all day. Some how I managed to get for 15 minutes and skate untill it began to rain again.

I had a surprisingly good 15 minutes skate! I learnt, one foot hs rail to ts rail and ts rail impossibles. Well i only did a few rail impossibles but still on my next skate session I'm going to try and get them consistent!

The rain started again and I had to come in.

Rail Kickflip Notes
I got this idea from Weeeeeter! I began writing down some noted that helped me when doing tricks. These notes are for a rail kickflip. You can watch a clip of a rail kickflip here, Rail Kickflip - Foot centre of the board. - Light kick... not to hard or you slap the board to the ground. - Hit with top of foot, not with your toes, and slightly flick the ankle. - You don't have to jump very high and you should jump about 1ft forward. - Keep feet bolts width apart, as you land bend you knees slighly (not like you just did a 18 stair). Try not to pivit. - To avoid piviting keep your body centred don't lean to far forward or to far back. There are the notes I wrote down.
