Been out for a few days due to back pains. Took some ibuprofen and went for @the_neviathan 's challenge of dump truck. Man it hurt to yank in! Guest dumpers are @halfdeadanimal and judge @fullertrron. Next trick had to be front nosegrind after seeing this amazing one from @pjladd this week. I know it's easy for you guys @the_neviathan and @boredzinejp, but you don't have to do it on as huge of ledge as me. Ha. #theglenandjosholdfartlongdistanceinstagramtricksuperchallenge #andnate

Went to Broomfield park on a beautiful cool cloudy fall day. It’s literally the first weekend without the sun blazing hot in weeks. I haven’t ollied in a few days. I felt rusty as all get out, but I was able to ollie without much pain. After pumping around for awhile I started trying Nates dumptruck challenge. It hurt my back to yank in so after I got the feel for it I set up the phone and stopped at the first possible one that could count. Then I skated the blue ledge for awhile. Did some back 50s, back 5-0 shove, front 50s and laid into front nosegrind for a long time before getting the sketchy one above. Dave showed up around then. Meta Sean was there too totally ripping nosegrinds both ways on the black ledge. I skated around a little bit more doing some basics and then had to leave. Bummed I didn’t get to skate with Darin or Dave.
