Met up with Jake and Dave at Dave’s ramp after work on a nice afternoon that was threatening rain. Jake and Dave had already skated for awhile so that’s my excuse for how quickly they were ripping. It was crazy though. Jake did pivot fakie on the parking block side first try, back blunt maybe first try too. Dave did a lot of back tails and other tricks that aren’t supposed to be easy. Jake wanted to do his tallest front blunt to date and he did. Twice. Nuts. I skated ok. Did a few of my basics and almost got hurricane on the parking block side before the ramp became to slippery with rain.

We chilled for awhile then Jake and I left for Boulder, but decided to stop at the “rollerblade park” on the way. We ended up having a total blast. I struggled initially as I’m still adjusting to cupsoles, but man the quad pain is almost gone. Crazy. Guess I’ll be stuck on cupsoles for awhile. We mostly lined stuff out starting at a flat bar, a ledge trick, a bank trick, back, etc. Jake had some good ones quick. Front lip, front 50. Front board, front 50. I struggled with halfcab boardslide, but eventually got some bad ones and followed with front 50 then back crooks coming the other way. If I messed up I would try other tricks. Did one of the best fakie flips I’ve ever done on a bank. Posted up on crooks rather then just the little jib. Jake got a sick line of tailblock the crappy qp between the flatbars, hippy jump a flat bar, front tailslide. I went for ollie over a flat bar then 360 flip on flat then front 5-0. Never got a treflip. Jake did ollie onto the tall ledge then chinese nollie off. I managed to get up there with some accidental wallie action. Ended with a front 5-0 on the ledge. That park is fun.
