Woke up in Seattle, ate a good breakfast, checked out of the hotel then walked/trained/flew/bus’d back home and my legs seemed happy to be back in the nice dry air of Colorado.  I didn’t want to wear the Etnies anymore because they were pretty blown out and my legs needed more support.  Seeing as how I have a stack of shoes at the moment I chose to rock some new eS La Brea shoes and their fake vulc goodness.  I picked up Jason and we met John at Valmont.  The mosquito population quickly discovered our whereabout, but it didn’t seem to really bother John and I too much.  After a minute Jason retreated to the car instead of skating.  He had already done front 50s, front tail, front nose, back nose, halfcab nose and back 50 anyway.  John did his patented sw slappy noseslides, fakie back tails, fakie front 50s and some other moves.  I struggled at front 50s, crooks, slow back 50s using my 90 degree approach, halfcab noseslides, etc.  After awhile John and I skated the low part of the kicker.  He hates doing tricks off drops, but managed front shove and kickflip pretty quick.  I did those as well, a lame halfcab and tried fakie bigspins unsuccessfully.  John put down a good halfcab and fakie ollie so I tried fakie ollie too and did the worst one ever before we left.  Sweet.  Coming home is nice.
