Three days ago I had my first session with a friend for a really long time...
Yesterday I finally learned shuvits...
Today it was raining so I regripped my dervish, It needed it anyway. (I slipped off the deck during a powerslide)

Today was sick. Rode around with four of my friends for about 3 1/2 hours of drifting in the local cemetery.

Yesterday I rode to school for the first time this year, it was 35* though!
The trails are still covered in 2-3" of ice, so I took the old highway to school. Traffic wasn't too bad, I was able to weave lanes and avoid it all. There's a really nice hill after you turn off the highway that drops down to the school, a good 35mph or so! I rode home the same way, of course that meant pushing up the hill, but I managed to get home before my bus normally gets there, that almost killed me though.. I pushed pretty hard uphill, nonstop.
Then an hour or so later, a couple friends and I took the long way to a gas station to grab a drink, and then home, about 2.5 hours of cruising.

Yesterday I went on a little solo sesh to bomb a nice hill just north of my office and look for new spots to hit. On my way to the first spot, I had to drive around a carload of kids that stopped in the middle of the road. I parked and grabbed my board, and three kids skated by me on longboards. They hit the hill once and left. After hitting the hill a second time, I decided to drive around and stumbled upon a housing development with a couple of nice hills.

While walking up the steepest of the hills (by Florida standards anyway), the same group of kids passed me on their longboards and cheered at me when they saw me toting my board up the hill. After I bombed the hill myself, they offered to let me ride in their car with them. I skated with them for about an hour and got in about twice as many runs as I would have normally by walking up the hills. It was a good impromptu group session, and I had a good time bombing a new area with some other skaters. Good fun, but it did make me feel a little old.

I re-learned my long lost piruettes today... Practised some more on my shuvits and whatnot. Just practising today

**SoulRoland** · 04-03-2008 01:24 PM

For some reason I was up at 5 am today so I decided to go out for a ride before work. Cruised up and down Park Ave a few times, its a ghost town at that hour and listened to some chill Reggae. Real laid back. I m new to the game but I think riding alone on open road with my ipod is my favorite type of session.

**Sh1v3i2** · 04-03-2008 03:25 PM

Went to my local shop and hit up the mini ramp then off to a hill the owner told me about, went 38mph and then chilling at home now till going to a garage sesh tonight =)

**respect roots** · 04-03-2008 05:37 PM

**slither9192** · 04-03-2008 06:08 PM

Went out to practise pushing long distance. Don't know exactly how much but about 5 miles without stopping and man was my heart beating. I was riding my gfh mini. I learned to stand up slide my mini and am practising pumping. Lime bigzigs slide alot easier then I thought. Skated for about 2 hrs total. Ate and apple when I got home and it was gooood

Pushed 3.61 miles to school this morning, and 3.61 miles home. Wanted to go skate with some people this afternoon, but people are being boring today, and nobody wanted to go and skate..

**wardlarson** · 04-04-2008 12:44 AM

i can ollie about 1 foot easily now, getting better day by day.

**SoulRoland** · 04-04-2008 06:15 PM

Just had a 3 hour session with my new Bustin Complex. The guys at bustin really know what theyre doing. I was taking on some hills and mainly doing some deep carving around the streets of manhattan. Such a chill ride, didn't want it to end.

**arodgers92** · 04-04-2008 11:09 PM

Got my new vanguard and rode it for 3 hours or so. Just getting used to it, so turny

**zero442** · 04-04-2008 11:46 PM

Rode for about 45 minutes todayon my classic powell, just on my neighborhood hill. Its was raining and i wasnt on. Got in some fun but probably retarded looking noseride carves that promted a thumbs up from some mom in a minnivan. normal practice on my colemans and backside slides. Did not compareto the last time i skated and had an awesome 2 hour sesh.

**Couplescaddy** · 04-05-2008 12:22 AM

OMG you guys, i just got a brand new Dervish today, well tonight, well, it came today but i was at work so i didn't get it till tonight, and rode it for 4 hours in a parking garage at UCSB. The basketball garage to any IVers out there! and holy freakin crap boys, that thing rips! i have a pintail, vanguard, and now the dervish and it is soooo unlike any of my other rides. Had probably the best sesh tonight with my buddy in 5 months! i love getting new gear!
