A cool and dreary fall day for once.  Neil came over and we watched the Orchard video to get hyped on street spots.  We headed out, picked up Carleigh and drove around looking for Jason.  After finding him we headed to Longmont, picked up Brian and went to the nearest USA loving gas station.  Next up was Rocky Mountain Elementary which is pretty much my favorite “spot” in Colorado.  Unfortunately I was feeling pretty stiff and old again.  We started out ollieing down the two stairs to warm up.  The worst part was having to get up the curb as a set up.  Ha.Everyone kinda warmed up at their own pace.  Me probably the slowest, although Brian was more into just chilling.  Bernie showed up and added a flat bar into the mix.  Carleigh was trying boardslides on the flat bar, noseslide shoves on the ledge.  Jason was doing front boards on the flat bar, front noseslides on the ledge.  Neil was doing front boards on the rail, front tails or lip attempts on the ledge.  Bernie was doing front lips on the flatbar, back or kick back tails on the ledge.  I messed around into the dirt bank for a bit, got a kcifklip in.  Then I was trying to kickflip over one of the brick sections.  Bernie took a photo of it that I would put up right now had he emailed it to me like he said he would.  Around the time Neil and Brian were ready to head out Bernie loaned his fisheye and filming skills to my new camera and Jason, Neil, Carleigh and I tried some lines.  I got really frustrated with the kickflip, but ended up getting it again and followed it with a quick crooks.  Carleigh got about 20 boardslides followed by noseslide shoves and then bailed pop shoves.  Neil one footed over the bricks then slammed on a crooks and was out for the rest of the day.  After I got my hammers I filmed Jason get a couple lines with front 180 over the bricks, halfcab noseslide the ledge, feeble the rail.  Carleigh got ollie over the bricks, kickflip over a grate then front 50 the ledge.  Bernie got kickflip to fakie over the bricks, halfcab a grate then front tail to switch manny off the curb.  Before leaving Bernie and I tried a few tricks into the dirt path.  Bernie did fakie manual and I did nose manual.  Decent day and we got mad footie son!

Met Bernie at Mike’s Camera to go in and look at camera stuff.  Bernie bought a new bag and lens while I did nothing other than ask Bernie if I can try out his old camera bag.  Awesome.  Then we cruised over to the manny pad for the last few minutes of light.  Skating a manny pad with Bernie is a treat.  He ripped it.  Kickflip manny drop to manny for awhile on accident so kickflip out.  Fakie manual.  He was trying back 180 fakie manual, but didn’t get it.  I was having one of those days where I felt pretty stiff and old.  I didn’t land much, but came close to kickflip manual, nollie shove manny and nose manual back shove out.  I say “close” but that only means I got into manual. It was a nice mellow little friday session.
