skate journal: spring canyon frustrations and watching hayden shred (feb 12, 2022)
Got 10″ of snow in Boulder, but somehow the Fort got none. So Kevin and I headed up there on a cool day. There were some puddles at Spring Canyon, but they would dry up and we skated for a few hours. I skated terribly and at no point felt good on my skateboard. The nose manuals were kind of fun, had some alright crooks on the bench, maybe a halfcab flip and bs flip, some slow frontside grinds on the low ledge, mostly just couldn’t believe how bad I skated. Kevin said he wasn’t shredding, but he was. Back smith the bench, switch front nose, front smith, nollie flips, etc. Hayden is so fun to watch skate. The longer line above was first try. He did so many cool and surprising tricks.
