After letting things warm up Jake and I rolled over to the og curb. Jake wanted to do back tail, I had not real plan and just kinda hucked a bunch of things. Jake pretty much went into back tails right away and would get a few of them. I couldn’t get a kick back 50 or tail, but some huck highlights were front nosepick to disaster, bennett stall (supposed to be back 180 fakie 50 but who cares), back pivot shove and another mediocre nollie back tail shove.

Then I went to Longmont to meet Dave at the somehow dry Longmont EMB. Although the melting snow did start to form puddles that messed with things a little. Dave was doing these cool pivot stalls on a bank median and trying to grind down in switch crook. It was unreal. There was a puddle making the approach hard so he didn’t want to film it. Next time for sure. He would also go on to nollie into it later. I warmed up with some nollie bigspins on the bank and switch noseslides on the ledge. I battled front 50s for awhile and would never get one. The wind had started making that direction very hard to skate. I got on really bad accidental 5-0. I got one or two kickflips on the bank and a crooks or too. Dave was doing some rad front 50 180s on the curb where he gapped over a puddle then followed it up with fakie varial flip. Then we ran up a brick median and rolled down backwards. Man that was way scarier than it should be, but a fun challenge to end the day on.
