Venice rules!

Venice is always an interesting park to go to. The skaters and crowd are always an eclectic mix. Always makes for an interesting time. I skated with Danielle while Ray Rae took the photos. We had a great time! I feeble stalled the deep end of the bowl and aired the channel! :D

Ojai again!

Skated Ojai again and it was such an epic session! Lots of locals showed up, including non locals, and we all shredded! Everyone killed it and then we all did doubles and even triples in the bowl! It was a great session all around.

Rock and roll extension... that trick is hit or miss...

Ojai has a fun bowl :D

Sunday session at Ojai was fun. I skated with Abby and Cenen, a fellow BDS guy. Cenen and Chris Z took the photos.
Overall the park is fun but the street section could be a bit more flowy, plus it's tiny.
The prize of this park is the bowl. I love the sound of tile and it has the smoothest cheater pool coping I've ever seen. It was definitely made well and very smooth.
I'll be going back there tonight for a session so I'm pretty excited to get my shred on in that bowl again!

Learned a new trick! Blunt to rock fakie/rock n roll

The Ojai bowl

Skating Pala with my favorite little groms!

Shredding the bowl with the 8, all the way on the back truck! :D

Learning to grab behind the knee :D

Pala is a fun park with 2 fun flow bowls and a pool bowl. I like them both. I skated with Dan and my favorite groms Annika and Klara! :D

Annika is 7 and shreds!

Klara is 5 and learning how to shred hard like her big sis! <3

Dan is usually taking the pics so I took one of him getting some! :D

Skating at Moorpark and bailing hard!

Last night I skated Moorpark with Abby and her dad was taking photos. It's a decent park, I like the flow area, but it's really blind so you really have to watch where you are at and where others are at. I'm pretty sure bikes and scooters are not allowed, but there were tons there! Lame! Anyway, the pool bowl is interesting. The shallow end is square with stairs and the deep end has 3 stairs and a death box. Still fun if you can manage it. I managed the deep end, not so much those darn stairs...

Best bail shot ever! Going too fast over the stairs... Oops! ;)

Did get some airs in the flow bowl but it has a weird over vert pocket with a nice hip but it's hard to get to...

Trying to throw smiles in with my airs. It's hard. :P

Abby can do the stairs just fine :P

Abby shreds with style! :D

Etnies in Lake Forest is for mongo kids...

Well it looks like a fun park, and I'm sure it can be, when you're not surrounded by tons of kids and the sun blaring in your eyes! :P I didn't really have as much fun as I could have here. There were too many kids and the sun was right in my eyes.
Once the sun went down it got better, but the kids were still there so it was difficult to skate hard with so many going every which way. This was the first skatepark I have been to where every person there was in the early stages of learning. It was crazy! Usually all the kids are better than me!

This park is a really good size, and they are adding on to it so it will be bigger, but the bowl where they are building the cradle will have to be a one run bowl because there are lots of blind spots.

The new course looks fun but lots of blind spots in the cradle bowl. The other bowl is tight!

Overall a fun park, if there are only a few people there and the sun isn't blinding you...

Conquering the vert ramp

There are no vert ramps in Colorado for me to skate, so I've only skated them about 3 times. Well I recently went to Caliremont YMCA where they have an old X Games 13 foot vert ramp, and I skated it. It took me 2 bails and 3 makes, but I finally aired over coping on it! Yay me! I hope to skate the vert ramps more so I can learn more tricks and go higher! :D

So stoked I aired the 13 foot vert ramp! I'll try to smile more....
