Connor Rips

Headed to Denver kinda early. Picked up Jack, Connor and Derek. We stopped at a spot in Denver them moved towards Aurora where we skated the spot that Chad filmed an epic line a year ago, I did my tallest ollie ever and we had a blast. This time my skating would suck though. Out of the blue my arthritis was back. Not painful, but making things really awkward and ollieing up a curb was hard. Luckily Jack was done to film a line and I can film without lucking as dumb. After that point I was basically Filmer Glen all day. I had dorked around a little, but there you see me above filming Connor get a really good quick feet line. Jack and Derek came through with some good stuff too. All in all a fun day. I love those dudes. Time to lay into the turmeric for arthritis again.

Went to SOL after work to pick up a check. I brought my board and joined a couple young kids skating on the flat bottom. I wanted to actually skate the ramp and when I started doing so the kids started playing hacky sack and it would land on the ramp sometimes. Ugh. They skated the ramp a little, but it made it weird. I of course sucked. That ramp is so hard to me. I only did some back 50s basically. Then I skated flat with those dudes for a bit. Had a good first try treflip that kind of surprised me, but then I never landed another one. Had a good heelflip and a couple other basics when a couple other dudes showed up that wanted to actually skate the ramp. Rad. They were good skaters. The kids left and we had a fun session. We all slipped, slammed, complained about how hard the ramp is, etc. But had fun. I wussed out of a front d, but had some fakie 50 and fakie back smith stalls that made me kinda happy at least. I need to skate that ramp more.
