After a late night and long morning celebrating 12 years of marriage to the greatest woman ever I met up with Brian, Neil, Fuzz and eventually Jake downtown.  We started near Canyon center and kinda cruised around everyone having troubles warming up and doing some pretty funny ollies and whatnot.  After awhile Brian and I eyed up a frontside wallride and Brian put it down second try.  So sick.  I kept trying them and Brian and I were goofing off in between talking about how we should call the next old man video “Off The Couch 2 With a Vengeance” or something.  I was totally dorking out lining up all fast then dragging my foot to a halt and doing a stationary kickflip then trying the frontside wallride.  I never got the wallride, but came really close and for the first time ever put two feet down and feel like I could land it there sometime.  It helped being able to grab the top of the wall.  Ha.Then we went into the Canyon Center area where Brian and Fuzz did some insanely sick wallies before Jake joined us and we skated the shorter banks trying tricks.  I had gone back to sucking, but Fuzz and Brian put down some cool tricks.  Fuzz had switch pivot fakie.  Brian did feeble lunchbreak to fakie.  Then we rolled down the alley just kinda skating whatever.  We hit a little manny pad for a minute.  Fuzz put down front 180 nose man and did it switch too.  Jake tried manny front 180 out.  I sucked.  Brian almost nose mannied it.  We ended up at Wells Fargo.  Jake almost got a back shove out of the little qpipe.  I sucked.  Neil sat.  Brian did a blunt to fakie.  Fuzz tail dropped from afar into the qpipe.  A cop came and we left.  On the way out I tried a few half assed attempts at nosesliding the brick ledge out of the top part of the Canyon Center.  Felt good to try it even though I didn’t get close.
