skate journal: Ft Collins and finally some warm weather (March 1)
After a decently long hike with Liz and Ollie in the morning (India was still at a sleepover) I met at Brian’s and we were off to Ft Fun. We started at the jersey barrier spot and Brian, Neil, Jason and Lazer killed it. I got wallrides both ways on the barrier and a b/s flip on a mellow part of the nearby bank. I used to have that trick on lock. Ugh. Next up we skated the O Ledge. It was funny because for some reason the ledge seemed huge. None of us got on it right away. Eventually some boardslides and noseslides were landed and Neil no complied it. It was not a pretty session. I ate shit on a front 50, but managed front 50, front 50 front 180, front 50 shove and a front 5-0. I wanted a front 5-0 shove, but it didn’t happen and that ledge is tall.At this point we split up and Jason and I rolled with Sean to a street spot while the rest of the Factory skated the Northside skatepark. The spot was so close to being epic, but the main surface was 20 year old rough ass asphalt. Nothing worthy went down, but it was fun.
