Extra Tricks (8/8-9/09)

Me and Jimmy got back from a nice vacation in Ocean City, New Jersey on Friday the 7th. Saturday the 8th was a good day of skating. We started out at wedge. Collin got a sick trick on the quaterpipe second try. Then him and Joey O'brien skated the transfer from the blue ramp onto the big bank at wedge. Joey was doing these super tweaked out early grab stalefish and Collin was getting these really nice indy grabs. Nate and Matt Powell got really close to some crazy grinds on the little ledge.


Me, Collin and Ant checkin out Collins trick.

hopefully someday I will actually have photos of myself skating.

After that Dustin and Joey took us to this sick gap across from the merck banks. Dustin and Collin ollied it and Joey O'brien killed it. He ollied it, Roastbeefed it, fs 180d it and kickflipped it in about 15 minutes.

Everybody checkin out the gap

Later on we went to the gas boy gap near wedge. Anthony Krystopa landed on a kickflip a bunch of times but didnt roll away. Dustin was getting really close to bs heelflip. Collin was trying a switch flip and was having trouble rolling away from it. Then Dustins mom called and said that him and Collin should come home because they has roastbeef sandwhiches waiting for them. Dustin told Collin about the sandwhiches and that he should land it so they can go eat. Collin landed it the next try haha

After that Joey Christoffers showed up after he got out of work late. I guess he was pretty hyper so he tried to ollie off the dumpster near the gap. He got real close but he snapped his brand new board.

Sunday it rained most of the day but when it cleared up me, Matt Powell, Brian Panebianco and Zach Panebianco tried to go skate Norristown. Brian took us to the courthouse. There was some sick stuff to skate there. Zach wanted to try this super kinked rail that went down the side of this wall and some stairs. To warm up for it he set his board up on the rail and just dropped and grinded the whole thing haha. I thought that was sick in itself. He started grinding through the first kink but kept losing his balance mid way through. Right as he was getting used to it the rain started coming down and he had to stop. A few more tries and he would have had it. After that Brian showed us around Norristown showing us some spots that were in videos. Then we just called it a day.
