After a long, but fun day at the CU football game with the kids I needed a bit of skating before Liz left for a bachelerette party.  I decided the drive to meet up with Lazer, Neil, Carleigh at Rock Creek wasn’t worth it as I’d have about 20 minutes of skating tops.  So I just skated flatground in front of the house and it ruled.  Landed a lot of tricks quick so I didn’t have to spend time on them.  Got my first 3  treflips in a row.  Unheard of!  Although something was even more whack then normal and my style was feeling really sketchy.  I was trying to link up a few tricks and had a few runs that felt great.  Fakie bigflip, front shove, treflip.  Halfcab flip, backside flip (horrible) almost fakie treflip.  If I messed up in a line I would try tricks that I rarely or have never landed.  I tried tons of nollie heels.  It feels like if it actually flipped I’d land it, but it doesn’t.  Tried lots o switch fs flips too, fakie hardflips, Rick flips and bigflips.  Never got too close, but maybe someday the stars will align.  I ended it on a front shove, heelflip, varial flip, no comply, fakie fs bigspin run and walked away with a big smile and a beautiful sunset.

I met Nate at his house after a pretty crappy day of work.  It was almost dark so we skated around the basketball court at his apartment’s for awhile.  I was skating absolutely horrible.  Kickflips seemed impossible.  No complys seemed impossible.  One of those days I guess.  We moved on and after ollieing up a 3 stair (Nate first try, me four tries ugh) ended up at a funny weird spot.  At an abandoned car dealership there was a waxed up curb going into a super mellow bank.  Basically imaging an 8 footlong “bank” that covers the height of two stairs.  Along one side was two curbs.  The top one starts at the level of the top so you can just cali grind onto it then go into the bank.  The curb dropped about halfway onto another curb.  Only the top one was waxed.  I could not get back cali back 180 out.  We did some funny tricks up since there is basically no risk.  I got a nosegrind and kind of a front Salad.  Nate did cool tricks like back 180 nosegrind.  Nate also got 5-0 cali shove out.  As we left I got cali dropped into manual.  All in all it was a depressing session for me.
