Went in front of the house, did a few manuals, powerslides and tried to do a slide around front 360. Yippee.

After a nap at work I went to Safeway ledge. I beat Rob there, but it started to rain right when I got there. The ledge wasn’t getting hit though so I just kind of did some slappy noseslides and back 50s avoiding the wet. Then it dried. Had some front 50s, 5-0, more back 50s. Rob showed with a new whip. He would go on to get slappy noseslides, back 50s, back 180 nosegrind, an accidental nollie front smith, nollie front tail and probably more that I’m forgetting. I got a kick back 50, a not-dipped-enough front smith, some fun front 50 yank outs and couldn’t pull off a front crook even with hosercam running. Fun short session. Then it was off to the Broomfield park for the GSD event.

After a tiring day at work I drove up to MRKT and then went to Fossil Creek. Since I was so tired I didn’t hit up anyone for fear that I would only skate for a few minutes. I was prepared for a park full of kooks, but there were only a couple on scooters. But they left when I got there. For the next hour and a half I had the park all to myself except for an occasional longboarder getting pulled by a dog or some kids on bikes (what have skateparks turned into?). I did not skate well. I had a few posted up crooks, a front 50 shove on the taller part of the ledge. Back 50s and front 5-0 on the low part. Oh, a first try halfcab noseslide on the taller part. Close to front smith and kick back 50 on the low part. Flip tricks didn’t go well. I couldn’t ollie the curb off the 3 stair. I at least left before sunset sparing some energy for tomorrow.
