My side spasms were subsiding a little, but still painful.  Neil, Brian, Cooper, Ollie and I met up with Bernie and Sam at the mellow bank to way too tall ledge because Bernie wanted to do a manny trick in a line (fakie manual fakie flip out).  I skated for awhile before chilling out and getting out the new camera.  I didn’t skate hard, but took it easy to not make the side worse.  I got nose stall to fakie and crook stall.  It was cool that Ollie and Cooper came along.  They were having fun.Sam, Bernie and Ollie.  My favorite photo of the day.  Ollie and Cooper had a lot of fun watching Bernie try his line.  F/s flip on flat, fakie manual fakie flip out.Brian had the funniest quote regarding Neil’s outfit.  “So what are you going to wear to church tomorrow now that you wore your church outfit today?”  So funny.Neil church clothes nose manny.Brian dark side wallride.As I said before.  I gotta lot of learning to do on this photography thing.  Cooper no tail ollie taken way to early.  But to my credit I’m not sure his tail got any higher then that.Before you complain about this photo being too early too let the truth be told.  He missed the grab.  Ha.More funny faced antics from my kid.  When is he gonna grow up and take everything seriously like me?I promise I’ll get better at taking photos.  That was day one and I seriously don’t understand Fstop, ISO, etc.  It’s totally new to me.

Finally got paid for the VX on Ebay so I rushed off to Mike’s Camera and immediately got the t2i.  Stoked.  Charged it up and this is the first photo:I really know NOTHING about photography.  F Stop?  ISO?  Depth of view?  I got a lot of learning to do, but I can say that at least I’m starting by putting it in manual mode and learning before I ever use auto.We are gonna sign a permission slip to let Ollie make a funny face for his school picture.Clearly he loves making faces right?Then off to the neighbor’s back yard for the first action shots.I got a lotta learning to do.

Had the day off work and ran around to several shops selling a couple boards before picking Max up and heading to Longmont to meet Bernie and Sam.  We got to a nice looking C ledge, but my side was worse off then I thought.  I tried dorking around, but couldn’t skate.  We went to a bump to weird ledge nearby where I mostly filmed Bernie, but also tried some pivots to fakie on the bank to crack.  That was it for skating until later on when I dropped in on a bank a couple times.  It’s been awhile since I’ve had these spasms.  Ugh.  At least I filmed Max and Bernie get banging manny tricks.
