Tough time with the first #tentricktentryflatgroundfridayfabulousfearsomefunfight in awhile. Had a lot going against me though. 1) it was 8am 2) first time wearing vulcs in a long time 3) brand new deck 4) that family of bikers circling around me. Thanks for the list @siouxer666 @garrettswheelers and @whodeehoo

Above is pretty much it. I had the desire for better board feel and decided to go right into flatground friday with some old vulcs sitting in my closet. Some NB# Quincys before the move to NB. They felt very different then the thick and stiff PJs. I have a good heel bruise going on (which is weird since I’ve been skating the PJs) so that hurt for awhile. I got through a few basic tricks then went into the 10×10. Can’t believe I couldn’t land a nollie tre. I even tried for a long time after the 10×10. I was closer on the fakie tre recently. Doh. Getting used to the thinner vulcs was a little rough, we’ll see how it goes. That family was so annoying though. I was taking up like 50×10 feet of the huge foundation and they had to keep coming right at me. Ugh.

Long day of work, stopped by meta to grab a new boards since new Null boards still hadn’t arrived, ate quickly then went and met Garret and Riley at Broomfield park. The park was packed when we got there with lots of awesome people I haven’t seen in awhile. Daryl, Collin, so many more I’m not remembering in my delirious state. I hadn’t really even done anything yet when Jake showed up too. So awesome. Everyone was kind of doing their own thing. Riley was doing switch flip switch nose manuals on the blue box. I did a few tricks on the quartapotty before joining Jake on the black box. He was rattling off tricks. Front tail, front 5-0, front 50 to front board, etc. I was stuck on front 50s. Argh. Although crooks were working pretty well. Tried to do a line of front 50 front 180 out then fakie flip out of the bank. Moved on to front 50 shove and came closer to the line. Jake also got fakie back tail. Riley was coming through in the middle of long lines with bangers like back smith down the rail, noseblunt on the brick qp, switch flip nose manuals, switch heel nose manuals, etc. He was shredding so hard. My shoes were kind of driving me nuts, they have so little board feel. I really got the desire to have better board fell, I might try some vulcs again.
