Carleigh and I met Nolan, Dave and Garrett at the Longmont park on a cloudy, but not too cold Saturday. The park was empty except for us for awhile. I got the wallie up the ledge and tried to turn around and roll in, but couldn’t. Garrett did a bunch of wallie variations. Nolan did a bunch of 360 grabs off the snowboard kicker. Dave and I played a game of SKATE on the mellow bank which was fun. I stayed away from flip tricks and we did a lot of no comply tricks. We both got no comply b/s shove to fakie. I was ahead for awhile, but in the end Dave took champion honors. Carleigh was skating the ledge. Nolan and Garrett were skating the really tall ledge on back of the flow bowl. Then I joined Carleigh on the front 50 fail front. Ha, neither of us were too hyped on how we skated the ledge. I ran into the ledge on back 50 attempt which really bummed me out. Hucked some kickflip noseslides. Carleigh got close to front 50 shove out. Dave, Garrett and Nolan were doing 360s over the hip. Then we skated the bump to ledge. Carleigh brought 50. I did noseslide and boardslide and a couple crooks, but couldn’t land them when it counted. Nolan did the huge ollie above. Dave did some good backside ollies too and front board to fakie the bump to ledge. Also boardslide and boardslide to fakie on the bump to bar. Garrett did b/s noseblunt on the clamshell top. I had a few good flippers throughout that I was hyped on. 360 flips and close to f/s halfcab heel. This session was really fun. At one point Dave landed something good and I remember looking at 15 year old Garrett and we were both stoked. Skateboarding rules. Age 15, age 46, whatever, it’s all the same.

Then we went to Rocky Mtn Elem and met up with Coburn and a friend of his named Zack. I was super tired and sore at this point and didn’t have much desire to skate. I got a couple crooks on the ledge that felt good, but that was it. Carleigh struggled on frontside ollies over a median. Garrett b/s flipped over one. Zach and Nolan killed it and filmed some tricks. Coburn was ripping the ollies over the medians too. Dave skated my board and I forgot he gave it back to me. When I got home I realized my board wasn’t in the car. SHIT! I called Dave and he went to the school to see if it was still there. Nope. Bummer. Luckily I had a few minutes of Meta still being open so I went and got stuff so I wouldn’t have to stress on it Sunday morning.

After work and a nap I headed out to a chilly Broomfield park to meet up with Jake and crew on Jake’s 30th Bday. I was looking for a ‘night off’ style session and never really ollied. I added a back smith stall to the tricks I’ve done on the brick qp. Jake was mostly with the crew in the photo doing 30 tricks on the quartapotty. At one point we sessioned the middle of the happy ledge like it was a miniramp. Ha it was so funny. Nolan had front 5-0 to fakie and front disaster oh and blunt to fakie. A bunch more was going on. Matt back lipped the flat bar. Dave boardslid across and down the little rail. So sick! Nolan did everything. I saw a Brian Ball blunt to fakie on the quartapotty which was awesome to see again. At the end of the night Fuzz and I were skating towards the blue bank and ollie bailing and trying to run next to our boards up the bank. Yeap, it was one of those nights.
