Picked up Nolan around 10am after a couple of boardslides on the mini bank to curb at his apt. Then we headed north and stopped at the old taco thing by Walmart in Loveland. I did a few bank rides and a rock ‘n roll. Nolan did a bunch of tricks. We filmed a couple for the gram and one for the video. He’s good. Then we brought boards to MRKT, ate and rolled into campus to check out a few things. First spot was that steep bank. I was thinking Nolan could do a trick into it, but he had nothing other then some drop ins. Nutter had joined us and he front noseslid the crazy steep/kinked rail out front. I filmed it. Then I filmed Nolan try some nose manual nollie flips out, but he didn’t get it. Man it was hot. We looked at the clark building hip for a bit, posed some tricks over it then headed back to the car.

In 30 years of skateboarding I've never landed a real wallride before. @nolancormier made me do it. Well, kind of. #mostuncordinatedskaterever #iamcomingforyouneil

We went to this alley. I wasn’t sure what Nolan would think of it and he wasn’t really into it. Especially with someone pouring stuff into the drain and it smelled horrible. He did some wallrides on the one above and I started thinking it would be a good time to finally land one. We were waiting on Bernie and Scotty to join us. Some large amount of tries later I had kind of landed it. Neat. Then we all goofed around for awhile.

Then we went to the fullpipe. The last time I skated there I took the a really bad slam. This time I survived and had fun. Bernie ripped it. Scotty hauled ass down it. Nolan filmed a really cool line.

Then we went to Fossil Creek. I struggled. Nolan mostly chilled. Scotty has a broken toe so he mostly chilled too. Bernie was ripping hard. Nose manuals the long pad every try. Kickflip manuals. Front smith front 180 out easy. He tried a line of nose manual, then a quick manual as a setup for front smith kickflip out, but never got the last trick. I had some fun crooks. Tried a line of front 50 shove out then front shove down the 3 stair. I really struggled with the front 50. Just getting on that ledge was hard for me. The new null 8.1s that generator sent this time around are shorter and the smaller tail seems to be effecting my ollie. Argh. And every since putting those new Spitfires on my board my trucks have felt really tight. I don’t know why.
