Had a busy day scheduled of bringing boards to MRKT and then Crisis before getting to the 98% premiere at Meta ( #3shopsoneday ). I saw on a webcam that Fort Collins didn’t get any snow, but I wasn’t really sure and it was still cold so I just headed out without making plans with anyone. I got to Fossil around noon and one other skater was there. Warming up wasn’t horrible and I felt like it might be an alright session. I moved up to the top area and started trying nollie front noseslides on the curb. Never got one. Started getting bummed. Kind of did one, but it wouldn’t have counted for the game anyway because I hadn’t started filming it. Was also trying a line of ollie up the 3 stair, ride off the drop, kickflip up the curb, front 50 the ledge that goes off the curb. I got one ollie up the 3 stair out of about 20 tries. I managed to get the whole line that time, but the front 50 was beyond horrible. Then a few people showed up including Alfred who challenged me to a game of SKATE. He pink slipped me. More depression. Not because he beat me, but because I didn’t land anything. Then I just skated the ledge for awhile. I struggled with front 50s. Got a crooks to fakie then spent a very long time trying crooks shove and eventually landed one that felt pretty neat. That was the one saving grace of the session. I failed at a bunch of front smiths. Alfred was ripping. Then I headed off to MRKT.
