Wake The Rock!

The weather has finally cooled off a bit here in Kansai, making it possible to skate in jeans once again. My shins and ankles are grateful.

やっと少し涼しくなった…まっ、まだ涼しいと言えないけど、ジーンズをはけるようになりました。ベンケイと足首が大喜び！

Junji- back tail up

I met up with Bug, Joe, and Soundboarding’s Junji at Osaka Pool for a Sunday sesh. Everyone was a little partied out, so it was a pretty relaxed day. We probably spent more time sitting around laughing about encounters with color-ball wielding convenience store clerks and naming a Japanese rock event than actually skating, but it was fun nonetheless. Junji took us to a few spots near the Trade Center, including a really fun rooftop spot and a pretty gnarly bank spot next to a stagnant river (good times!). We ended up moving on and skating Nakanoshima until late in the evening.

大阪プールでジョー、バッグ、じゅんじと待ち合わせ後、じゅんじにトレードセンターのスポットに案内してもらった。みんなが土曜日に遊びすぎてけっこう疲れていたので、スケートより座ってウダウダしゃべる方が多かった。でも楽しく日曜日を過ごしました。最後に中ノ島に移動して、遅くまで滑った。

Bug- flip to fakie

Joe- noseslide up

Junji was killing it- 5-0 down
