Went to Boulder park before work on a cold morning, but somehow it didn’t feel so cold.  I had the park to myself for awhile except for a random homeless dude doing paperwork near the ledge (wtf?).  I had switched to some old 345s for no real reason other than I think it really does help my feet to rotate shoes.  I did some random stuff, but managed to not skate transition at all.  Ha.  I had those smaller harder wheels and they felt a little weird at first, but then I started popping ollied and they felt great for that.  I did a noseslide to fakie down the no runway hubba.  Well, only slid for a bit then landed in the bank which was kind of hard and fun.  Then I tried back 50s down it for awhile.  Never quite got in, but did commit at least.  Tried b/s flips over the tiny hip for a bit, but never put both feet on it.  Then front 50 across down the main ledge 2nd try.  Somehow that got me the courage to try and front 50 on just the downhill which I haven’t done in forever.  Downhill scares me.  But I did it like 5th try going super slow.  I wanted to go back and do it faster, but I needed to get to work and was happy leave on a good note.
