I’ll be there.  $100 says Reynolds gets curtains.

Skated with Ollie and Cooper behind the school for awhile.  I kept it mellow doing some small ollies, 180s over a rug and ollie over a rug to long manual to big dog jumping at me scaring the crap out of me.  Of course the dog owner doesn’t apologize.  People with dogs really suck sometimes.Met up with John at Meta and cruised down the hill to the super mellow bank to mini curb.  There was some freshman orientation dance thing going on blasting some horrible dance music in the background and lots of college girls in tiny skirts.  Pretty funny.  We started out with some basics and not before long there was a guy skating with us who asked if we were freshman.  Ha!  As if either of us even remotely looks under 30.  Anyways, he kept asking questions about skating and we kept skating.  John learned blunts to fakie and did a bunch of tricks like pivot fakie, blunt pivot fakie, almost front shove back nosepick, back tail shove and no comply bigspin tail.  After I rattled off kickflip pivot pretty quick I tried kickflip nosepick forever and never got too close.  At one point I did and accidental back lip (front revert out) followed by an accidental kick back smith.  Ha this spot is awesome.  I did get a first try kick back tail which felt great.  I spent some time trying front smith kickflip out and got close, but no cigar.We then played a couple games of skate in the new area.  The first game lasted forever though.  We both struggled with our standard tricks.  John was ahead for most of it, but I ended up winning it with tricks like 360 flip (I got john on a 3 flip wtf?), fakie bigflip, first try best one I’ve done nollie treflip, and it ended with a f/s halfcab flip war that I won.  The next game was quicker.  At one point I put down 3 tricks in a row, halfcab flip, heelflip, b/s flip and managed a nollie var flip too and took him out with the super tech fakie bigspin.  Ha.  I felt bad about that.  Fun night and oh yeah it was my 200th day of skating this year.  100 more to go!

Picked up Jake at Meta and headed to Broomfield park.  We skated the flow bowl area for while.  Jake skated it well and got a mean front 5-0 on the corner pocket extension thing.  I finally got a few grinds that I didn’t bail and got a little back 50 on the pool coping.  After awhile I moved on to the street area and mostly tried lines with the blue box and little qp.  Jason and Carleigh showed up which made it even more fun.  At one point I got a run with nose manual the blue box, front feeble on the qpipe and then back 50 the blue box.  I also came close to kick back tail on the blue ledge, got a first try front smith on the qp, front 50’d down the ledge near the qp, I don’t know it was all fun.  Carleigh was trying to pop shove the double set so I went up and failed miserably at just ollieing the six stair.  Then Carleigh put down a textbook pop shove down the dub set.  So sick!  I failed at getting her back with a measly ollie down the six though.  At least I can take comfort in knowing I committed everytime instead bailing like I normally do.  I gave up for awhile and did some more nose manuals and a couple 3 flips on flat before going back and landing the six stair.  Sweet.  Jason was skating pretty well too.  Lots of qp tricks and back 50s.  At the end Jake came up with the idea to try and ollie onto the rust box and go into back tail on the tall side.  We all got it and it was fun.
