This part really hypes me up to skate.

Got off work after another crappy day, fell asleep on the couch, ate dinner, swam with the kids which cheered me up, then boxed up some boards for Fremont Matt and brought them to Fedex on Baseline.  Skated around for a bit after that.  Just kinda warming up there was a cone after the kicker and I ollied it a couple times before skating the parking blocks by Subway.  Got a few lines.  Sw front 180 over a parking block, ollie the weird kicker under the sign, ollie onto the sidewalk, ride off, ollie onto the sidwalk, ride off, ollie a curb to little drop.  Sw 180 a curb, kickflip another curb, wallie off a curb to manual off the two stair.  I got the wallie mannie first try which hyped me up because I’ve tried that way too many times.  It helps they redid the parking lot.  Then tried another line with sw 180 the curb, halfcab flip, kickflip over the curb then wallie manny.  Didn’t get that again.  I also dorked around on the curbs a bit.  Got front lips, front blunts, back blunts.  Tried back blunt shove, but didn’t get close.  Then I went over to the C ledge on campus to try and get ollie up 180 off without pushing.  It’s kinda tall.  Normally when I ollie onto it I lose my speed, but I was getting some good ollies and the 180 off came easy.  There is a little gap out so it’s extra fun.  Since the 180 was so easy I wanted to try front shove.  The bench has a weird slant to it and it made it way harder than it should have been.  At least that’s the excuse I’m going with.  It took forever.  I went through various waves of exhaustion where I had trouble ollieing up the bench, but eventually put it down and cruised right down the bike path to get out there nearly getting hit by a biker without a light.  Cool.   I ollied a little parking block gap on the way to the car and called it a fun night.

After a run to 303 Jason and I went to the Broomfield park.  We met wannabe Nuller Derek there.  Ha.  Before we even got out of the car I already saw him doing some pretty ridiculous mannies.  Lots of pivot 180s in the middle of mannies, 180s in, out, shoves out.  When Jason and I started it wasn’t very pretty.  Both of us were sore and had troubles ollieing up the downhill blue ledge to setup for the porta potty.  Jason was doing mannies almost every try on the blue ledge though.  Front feebles on the qp were feeling better than ever for me.  We messed around on the top for awhile.  I got a few f/s flips on the bump by the bowl and followed them up with crooks slams on the black ledge.  Jason got a sick back 180 up the euro.  I failed to ollie up it.  Ugh.  Back down the the lower level I got a run with nose manny, front feeb, back 5-0, treflip.  Then tried nosegrinds forever and never got any without a little tail tap on the way out.  Argh.  Jason wrecked himself trying a nose manny and sat out the end of the session.  Derek was doing some crazy front 180 switch 5-0s to fakie on the brick qp.  Some dudes showed up in basketball shorts, shirts and shoes (Nikes are basketball shoes kids).  They had the worst styles ever, but were somehow doing some decent tricks.  One dude could pop over a tall cone easily.  I guess that makes sense, basketball players can jump high.
