After a long day of listing stuff on ebay, taking the kids swimming at The Bay in Broomfield and having a nice dinner with Liz I wanted to go skating.  Carleigh was at the Broomfield park, but I didn’t want to drive back there again so I just went over to the Table Mesa shopping center for what turned out to be a totally awesome session.I started out behind King Soopers at the crazy downhill sidewalk with the two stair at the end.  It took me a few tries to even ride off it, but then I started scoping out a different way to hit it in a line and had a blast.  I started out trying ollies on the nearby sidewalk bump, riding down the sidewalk and ollieing the 2 stair then manualling the crappy manny pad down below.  At one point I landed a gap and barely made the corner and did an accidental powerslide.  That felt amazing.  Then I started trying kickflips on the bump which was hard because the landing was downhill and had a bad crack.  I eventually got a few kickflips and followed one up with the whole run.  So fun.  After slamming on the King Soopers 3 stair I ended up at the long flat gap by the auto store.  It took me a bunch of tries but I ollied it and that felt great too.  Next up I ollied the umbrella stand at the cafe that I’ve ollied a few times.  I tried a taller one, but since it’s six inches taller it’s basically a mountain and I failed.  Last part of the evening was spent doing a few flippers at slow speeds.  I did front shove, heelflip, 3 flip, another double flip, nollie shove and came close to a few nollie flips.  Fun night.  Street skating is the best.
