Still sore from the hike the day before, but not as tired. I had to drive up to Silverthorne and back in the morning to pick up my kids from my parents. I got back, ate some grapes then met Jason and Carleigh at the Mikes Camera manny pad. Carleigh took awhile to show and it took Jason and I forever to land manuals. We were all pretty mellow and it was not a heated session at all. When it was all over I guess I had actually done a decent number of tricks for me. I think I may have touched on a few of these, but they were close enough for me to say they counted. Manual front 180 out, nose manny shove (3 of these), kickflip manual, sw front 180 manual and a couple horrible b/s flips up the curb. Came close to nollie flips on flat. The new trucks were being weird again. Carleigh and Jason also got manuals.

Jason has been fighting a bad back for a long time now and didn’t want to skate anything with impact so we agreed on Stonehenge. I’m not sure what happened to Carleigh on the way, but she got all moody on us and wouldn’t even try to skate the bank to curb. Jason and I had a decent time on it. Besides the basics I got a few kickflip back tails. Jason was having trouble popping frontside and kept landing before the curb. It was funny. After that we went to campus because I wanted to do something silly for the Crisis best trick contest and this was all I could think of doing.

For those of you not in the know, Fuzz and I have been having some fun dissing on each other’s trucks of choice. He likes Indy and I prefer Thunder so here is yet another jab in the saga of two dorks battling over supreme truck company. Make sure you watch that clip with the sound on. Ha. In all seriousness though the whole “Thunder” part of this wasn’t the intention at all. I just figured it would be rad to support Fuzz and try a trick I’ve thought of for awhile. Jason was kind enough to film and throw something at me. While I was trying it Carleigh was doing nollie, fakie and switch front shoves on flat. Radical. As we were walking back to the car I saw a 4 stair with angle iron off the side and cali grinded off it. Felt pretty neat.
