Got out of that customer conference in Longmont around lunch time and had a bit of time to kill before going back to work. I went to meet Dave at the covered pavilian and skate flat, but there was a bunch of people there. So naturally we skated this huge hubba across the street instead. It was kinda funny. Two 40+ year old dudes trying to slide a totally dry curb in front of a church. We ended up waxing them and almost got it, but got the boot instead. You had to drop off the first stair then slide down the rest. Then I went back to work.

After work I stopped at the research center ledge which was nice and shady. I ended up starting in back area with all the electrical boxes trying some dumb quick feet stuff. Ollie off a little drop, manual a curb then immediately roll off a two stair. Then I tried to ollie onto a narrow curb high slab and ollie down to another one. But ultimately I just went to disaster instead because I was too scared to land in such a narrow space. Then I did a couple crooks and moved up to the hill to do flatground. And wow I really sucked. I could not do a halfcab flip or fakie big flip easily. Those use to be staples of mine. Argh. I did not feel confident at all and I was super sore. Yeah arthritis. My stubborn ass stuck with it though. Eventually got a few treflips and had some lines with 3 or 4 flippers down the hill. Also got a swtich varial flip going really slow up the hill. Ended with a back 50, called it a day then went home and watched BATB7 with Ollie which was insanely fun to watch.
