Q- What was your most memorable session?
|
"my most memorable session was when me, carlos, and jake were skating at joe walker manuel pads one day and we decided to go look at this 11 handrail that was in a middle of the field. we go up to it and i was just watching because jake wanted to caveman boardslide which was crazy because none of us have never done a handrail. so jake gets up and does it in like 3 tries and i was super stoked. then he says he wants to boardslide it, and i was trippin out. so he rolls up a few times, and then he just goes for it, gets on, and then falls. me and carlos were goin crazy. so i get up and start trying it with jake and jake finally lands it and it was so was clean. then like 10 tries after he lands it, i land it too. it was such an amazing session because we never did a handrail before that day. jake's a crazy dude and i love that guy."
