This photo pretty much sums up my skating as of late. We started the day at Southern Hills. Max ollied a huge trashcan and I pretended to follow him, but swerved around it and hit a hole and slammed. Ugh. Bernie was nursing a rolled ankle and skating lightly. Neil started off yelling, but calmed down and almost put together a great line of pop shove into the handicap ramp, nose manny a bench, wallride then front lip shove. He came really close. Sam rolled around for awhile, but then chilled. Zack was there chilling mostly. Carleigh had some noseslides. Max was ripping of course. He can ollie up onto the benches like it’s nothing. He got me to 50 up the handrail. Well it’s true. The lowest part of the handicap rail that starts off about 2″ off the ground. I was trying a line of noseslide, crooks, 50 on the rail again. Never got them all. Was feeling like the photo above.

Next we went to Longmont to the checkboard manny pad and I didn’t think I’d be able to skate I was so sore, but I got a manual and a nose manual and came remotely close to nose manual shove before turning into Filmer Glen. Bernie seemed a bit looser and was trying halfcab manual treflip out. Max was trying a bunch, but almost got kickflip nose manual nollie treflip out but some jock in a pickup sweated us hard and we left.

We went to some ledges at Longmont High that were actually really good. Like super good. I didn’t do much before I turned into filmer Glen. It was worth it though as Max came through with like 4 clips. He was ripping so hard. Bernie’s ankle was bothering him and he couldn’t land a nosegrind to start his line. Carleigh did a million boardslides and several noseslides.

Lots more photos on Carleigh’s blog.
