Had a long work week and had a brief window of time where I could get out so I did. This park is like 3 miles from IBM so I went there. At first there were these kids there, but even worse were their mom’s standing right at the top of the bank so when I bailed a trick under them I felt extra old and dumb. Luckily they left after awhile. I had done a few lines. Mostly involving ollies over the flat bar and kickflip on the bank or a slow ledge trick. I really hate the one low ledge as it’s narrow with grass on the other side. Later on I settled into a couple things with ollie over the rainbow rail then front 50 up one of the escalator ledges. Coming back at one point I did the best treflip I’ve done in a long time. Last thing was trying to ollie up onto the tall ledge you can see the girl standing on. It’s so tall. I got close over and over again until finally making it once, but it was sketchy and I came off the side quick and didn’t ride away. Oh well. Way funner then work.

After work I met Liz and India at Wahoo’s to celebrate India’s first day of high school. So crazy. I was really tired, but right after I went to Rock Creek to meet up with Rob, Fuzz, Carleigh and Chelsea (I think). My first run made me feel good then it was kinda downhill from there with the exception of some little ollies and front disasters. Carleigh got into a bunch of front 50s and had apparently landed one earlier in the session. Her friend Chelsea seemed rad and was skating good. Rob got into some steez machine back smiths and had a rather lofty backside ollie that he said was nothing. Ha. Fuzz was killing it and also had the worst slam I’ve seen him take in forever. Blunt fakie, halfcab blunt fakie, huge ollie to front disaster, frontside ollies, a lot more. I forget what the slam was on, but it was right after yelling an F-bomb which he tried to take back from disturbing the peace in quaint little Superior. Ha. It got dark. I skated flat while others talked.

On the way back to Boulder it was still wet so I went to Red Curbs. I quickly discovered that my insole experiment of trying the actual Es insoles was not a good idea, but I kept skating anyways. Mostly just did slappy front 50s (well, ride on front 50s), back 50s, front 5-0s and slappy crooks. But had a few other tricks thrown in like back 50 front 180 pivot out, ollie over the two cones stacked sideways on each other, manuals, etc. It was fun.
