Woke up really early and had time to go to Golden.  Arrived to a mostly empty park, just a few carver type skaters.  One of which turns out will possibly be Ollie’s professor at CU.  That’s pretty random.  I warmed up with some carving around of my own.  Before long I was in the ledge area and took too long to manual the pad and followed it with a first try front 50 on one of the benches.  Ollied onto one of the benches a couple of times which is hard for me.  I did some noseslides and crooks on the tall ledge.  Tried a line for a long time of noseslide to fakie the narrow ledge, halfcab noseslide the curved ledge, turn around and ollie onto it.  Never got it because the halfcab boardslide was killing me, I only landed one cruddy one.   I got an accidental 5-0.  That ledge is taller than it looks.  Also had some boardslides on the ridiculously slick flat bar, switch flip poses on the bank.  I messed around a little after that, but got really tired and headed in to work.
