It must be the weekend because the weather was crap. Cooler and raining. At least it wasn’t snowing I guess. I got to Yellow Curbs first. It’s been a long time since we’ve been there, it used to be a bust, apparently it’s not anymore. Man it’s a fun garage. I cruised around for awhile before settling into a line attempt. Back 50, front slappy the tiny curb, nose manual another section. I never got the nose manual. Sometimes I would do slappy crooks instead. Rob showed and got in the groove quickly with manuals and long back 50s out of the gate. We had a really fun session. Rob did a bunch of nose manuals, nose manual to front lip, lap over front lips, wallie nollies, no comply manual, no comply up and then kickflip off, front shove off, a lot of radness. I got a few back 50s (that trick is so hard for me), front 50s, front 5-0, slappy crooks, one slow slappy hurricane that felt awesome, remotely close to front nosegrind, struggled with kickflips up the curb, close to b/s flip off. I had started my day off 10-0 on kickflips, so that was good. Fun session.

After driving to Denver in the rain and back I had an hour or so before Carleigh’s party so I skated flatground in the garage. Got kickflip and heelflip then just started hucking. Nollie flips, varial heel and nollie heel. I landed none of them. I did land on some varial heels though. Close to nollie flip. Remotely close to nollie heel, but felt like I learned better foot placement and how to pop it.
