Up early again and biked to Boulder park.  I wasn’t the first one there this time.  There were a couple older dudes rocking the black shorts/royal blue shirt/full pads combo carving around.  Both of which were nice dudes. I was there for about 15 min before Rob showed.  My warmup wasn’t as tough as last time although my knees were in more pain and I would struggle.  I had some fun front 50s on the wide qp, still couldn’t grind the parking block qp, fun noseslides, some ghost pop ollies over the hip.  Rob got going with some speed carves through the old park and new park, qp back 50s, manuals.  Then had some really snappy ollies over the hip, boardslides, nollie bigs on the bank by the hip.  I got another quick crook jib on the bank to ledge, some crooks the bench followed by 50s the bank to ledge.  I wussed out on back 50s , but finally got some front 50s on the bump to ledge.  Only a couple of them were locked in good and I couldn’t 180 out, but it felt good to finally do the bump to ledge.
