Street skating

I was incredibly annoyed at Guth the other day so I invited Max and Jaren to go street skating. Jaren wanted to skate stairs so I told them about a spot I used to skate back in the day. This is photographic documentation of what happened:



First order of business at a spot is to warm up. Jaren was warming up with kickflips, until this attempt. On this one he bailed and messed up his ankle.


This is Jaren after the bail. He sat around, played on Max's iPhone, gave Clint and Tyler directions to the spot and told Max that every try was the one.


Speaking of Max here he is landing a heelflip. He called it right before this try.


Here's Tyler. He ollied the stairs and 180'd them, but I didn't get a good photo of either one, so here he is not landing something.


The landing was pretty rough and chewed up Max's hands.


Now Max got 2 tricks: a heelflip and a 360 flip. The heelflip wasn't so bad, but the 3flip was a battle of epic proportions and at times it looked like it was going to defeat him


He eventually defeated the 360 flip, but broke his tail in the process. We (Jaren, Clint, Tyler and myself) said it counted cause he rolled away on the broken tail but Max wasn't having it. So he flipped his board around, tried one more time, bailed and ripped his thumb open.
