On a cool morning I went to Boulder park before work. It was cloudy out and I was enjoying it. I didn’t have a plan and I had the whole park to myself so I was all over the place. I never really stuck to anything for awhile, just going all over trying random things. I spent a little more time in the halfpipe area as Dave had challenged me to kickflip rock fakie. I realized I haven’t even done a rock fakie on anything other than the quartapotty in a very long time. I tried a few kickflip rock fakies. They seem doable. Maybe on something a little lower would be better for me. I’m a chicken. I kinda tried a line for awhile. Crooks down the hubba (I would only grind about a foot at the most), back noseslide the bump to ledge, kickflip the little kicker, roll in to the tiny part of the bowl, then flyout ollie over a grocery cart. I wasn’t able to commit to the roll in or fly out. Doh. I took a few tries to get a slow front 50 across and down the ledge. Last thing I tried was a little hip line. Frontside ollie (after rolling down the bank they were scary going that fast), turn around backside ollie, turn around, b/s flip the hip. Got a slow one in about 10 tries. It still felt cool though.

Went out to the garage because it was kinda cold and it was getting late. I messed around with the no pop manuals for a bit then went into hucking flippers. Took a couple tries to get a kickflip, b/s flip first try. Then kinda did 5 tries at various tricks. Mostly ones I can’t do like nollie flip, nollie front heel, switch fs flip. Got a heelflip on the 5th try, got a super sketchy treflip on the 5th try too. Ollie had come out. He was struggling with shoves then saw me randomly try and ollie grab and so we tried them together. He got a decent one and we called it a night.
