It was supposed to be 60 mph wind gusts. Somhow Boulder was avoiding it and John and I took advantage. I was pretty tired and uncoordinated. I almost rolled my ankle a couple times and was like 5-20 on kickflips for the night. Horrible! We mostly skated the non-red waxed curb. We started mostly with slappy slide tricks before getting gnar with tricks like front 50s. Ha, I actually got several back 50s which felt great as that trick normally escapes me now. John almost got a front shove back 50, back big front nose. Flip tricks were hard for both of us. I didn’t really land any flippers I was hyped on, varial flips were working though. I got a kick back 50, bailed a bunch of kick back tails, never landed a front lip. Somehow nose manuals were being super elusive and it took a combined 50 tries before I finally landed one. John slammed and kind of hurt his bruised rib so sat down for a bit. I tried treflips and nose manual shoves out. Got close to both, but then the wind kicked in and we bolted.
