What a long day. Had to get up at 4:00am to bring my mom to the hospital for a minor surgery. Everything went well and while she napped in the afternoon I was to run up to MRKT and sell some boards and maybe skate a little. The hospital is in Loveland and I just kind of drove north on the rode I was on not really knowing where it went. Low and behold I ended up on Lemay and there was Fossil Creek on the left. Decided I should give that a try. My body was in worse shape then I had imagined. Not sure if it was lack of sleep, arthritis or both, but I had nothing. No confidence and no coordination. I did have some decent crook grinds going though. At one point I tried a line with back 50 on the curb high ledge over the brick section, crook on the ledge then tried a nollie treflip since that is the exact spot I hucked my first one and started thinking it would be possible. That was about the only brief time period where I skated remotely ok. I did a few other tricks, but really didn’t have much of anything. I tried quite a few things that I would have been proud of. Hucked a bunch of kickflip noseslides that went in perfect, but I’m not sure what would happen if I committed both feet to it. Also almost got front tailslide over the little brick section under the curb ledge. I skated, it wasn’t pretty or even that fun, but I skated and sometimes that’s all that matters.
