Friday 25 November 2005 the Big Session
Mission: Skating to the teeth
Things to avoid: not skating to the teeth
6:00 Am 
woke up after sleeping only half an hour which was out of my hands…I couldn’t sleep. Why? I have no idea...
6:30 Am
went downstairs to take Collin and walk to the train station which is so close to home. And I found out that Collin took with him a large Cooler (saying in my mind why didn’t he take the Gatorade packets with him and we can buy from the session place water bottles)
6:45 Am
the three of us (me, cherif and collin) standing…standing…waiting for the train to arrive… train arrives at 7:10 Am
7:10 Am to 9:30 Am
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (Collin wasting his life sleeping...uhm...as markis thinks about sleeping )
9:35 Am
Arrived to the Cairo train station and took a taxi
10:05 Am 
Taxi flew, the streets were cars free for the first time…Arrived to the Tiba mall and Found that Mohamed tarek and his brother Ahmed already there skating near the 6 set..
10:15 Am
Fayek arrived, fixed his board and started skating with us..
10:30 Am
Amr Zaki arrived with a bunch of skaters (marawan slama, spiky, barakat, Italian Punk guy and others I can’t remember their names for instance)
10:52 Am
Yehia finally arrived with Omran…looks like he was struggling to wake up !!!
10:53 Am
Fayek’s jeans shred…Jeans need to be changed…
& Collin lands 360 one footed shuvit.
SSSSkkkkkattiinggg till 12:00 Pm went to pray leaving Fayek and Collin skating
12:42 Pm 
Moving to the other spot in front of the super market where the floor is also smooth…
Other skaters drop by (Amr with his Flip t-shirt and Nour with his Blind T-shirt and karim khalil with darkstar hoodie and Zero t-shirt..those breathe and wear everything skateboarding I think.)
Summary of what happened there: Collin grinded the Coleman(cooler) and had a problem with the bushings but he fixed it…made kickflip and 360 flip over the gap..Karim khalil showed us how he can skate really really fast and ollies really high..Amr with the flip shirt showed me how he makes the heelflip(keep in mind that he can’t ollie…strange right!! )..by the way he lands the heelflips.
4:05 pm 
Yehia’s telephone rang….the Jazeera krew finally is here…skated to the 6 set spot….and!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....there was about 15 skater that we met for the first time…Nader was Raaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!! great style too!!!!!! The session is sick…..everyone is skating …someone is doing a trick here and someone is doing a trick there..
Met ramy el attar…that homie is sick…he can barely walk because of all these accidents and bails caused by skating and bmxing and still rules…Soulslayer was here too…I had a conversation with karim khalil about the mini ramps he built..this homie is rad too.
Summary:
We took footages of Collin and Nader…also Collin ollied the 7 decks but nader ollied 6 decks..great though for anyone..also ollied the 6 set.
One of the little kids tried to ollie the 6 sets but ended falling on his Bum….ouch..
6:15 pm 
We are tired and hungry, Someone got the idea that we can order mcdonald’s from a store near us and mcdonad’s will deliver for us what we wanted…Of course that didn’t work…Nader left us.
6:45 Pm Guess who arrived???? The one and only Alex with his es t-shirt , Oliver with him but can’t skate because of his torn ankle.. Alex plugged his ipod to the speakers… we skated for about 45 min with the music in the background…alex tried to make pop-shuvit to late flip..he was about to land it…
7:30 Pm
Everone said the last goodbye to Collin as he will not be able to skate with them again..he’s leaving on 7 december.. Session officially ended.
we went to City stars with Yehia …the secutity guards were mad saying “ eh kol eskotars dee,ento gayin menin?”
8:06 pm 
while eating in the food court yehia’s mobile rang…Guess who??????????? The Malaysians and the Singaporeans (zulkifli and others) came late to the party..we were already left…sorry guys next time
By the way we finished eating ..took our boards from the guards..and catched the train….of course we didn’t sleep in the train…WE DON’T HAVE THE LIFE TO WASTE.. Joking of course..
12:45 pm

KEEP IN MIND THAT WE DID ALL THAT WHILE TAKING MR COLLIN’S COLEMAN(COOLER) WITH US EVERYWHERE…
Mission accomplished…it’s a wrap. see ya next session boyos…
