After dinner I went to Longmont and met Dave at Rocky Mountain. I felt better as far as less chest pain, but it was still nagging throughout the session. We both started on the curb. Dave started doing a line of nollie to fakie on the bank and did a million front crooks on the curb. Like really, he just kept doing them. Some fell into noseslide, some stuck, but he got into most of them. I had a couple of those nollie bigspins on the bank, noseslides, couldn’t get crooks on the ledge. Flip tricks didn’t go well for me. Oh yeah, I had started on my 8.3, but then switched back to the 8.25 and was much happier. Tried some front 50s on the ledge and failed. Dave was charging near the end trying a line of slappy crooks to fakie then switch bigspin front nose. He didn’t quite get the sbsfn, but he was really close. I did some slappy crooks and got one slappy front crook. Fun night, rad spot. I had some motivation while skating, but just didn’t land much.
