Woke up feeling good on the big Stubborns premiere day. I headed to Denver before everyone and brought boards to Emage and 303. I met Nolan and Jack at York St on a sunny, but cool day. My ankle was still pretty locked up and even nose manuals at curb level were scary to put weight on. Jack was destroying it. I saw boardslide 270 shove, back tail, back tail shove, pop shove nosegrind, front tail bigspin, I don’t know, so many tricks as I sat there catching up with Nolan. Ladd joined us and then eventually Joe. Ladd, Nolan and I mostly hit the manny pad while Jack was lining out the ledge area. The only thing I got was a nose manual. Nolan had 50 to nose manual, manual to boardslide. Ladd seemed close to manual kickflip out. Jack joined and manualled the narrow ledge, also late shoved off it. Some ridiculous stuff. I had some crooks and slow 50s on the granite ledge, Nolan had some basics. I filmed him do some tricks on the bank, Jack did some ledge tricks. I’m not writing enough about this session. It was a long one, but I was distracted by the upcoming premiere and don’t remember much.

My left ankle/achilles was having a nice arthritis flare up. I went into the garage without many intentions. I did some manuals and stuff. I tried a mixture of shoes to see if they helped at all. Nothing really seemed to matter. I switched between DC Vestrey, 212s and Sucius. Since it was my front foot that hurt I tried nollie/switch flick tricks. Committed to nollie fs flip and got close, but never got both feet on it. Switch f/s flips didn’t feel close.
