On a nice morning I met Sean and then Kevin at Broomfield. This day would not go as well for me. Other than a first try halfcab flip everything else was harder. My legs did not want to jump at all. I hit a boiling point on a bailed front 50 and had to put myself in the penalty box for a while. Sean and Kevin ripped it. We ended up at a spot in Denver after a while. It rained and there was a covered section so we skated some flatground. I didn’t have much energy, but I played Bo in SKATE. About the only trick I landed was varial flip. Watching Noè do like 50 flip tricks in a few minutes was awesome. As was how easily Hayden, Sean and Kevin skated the tall bench off the stairs. I was very bummed on my skating, mostly how little drive I had.

On a warm, but cloudy and humid (for Colorado) day I met Kevin at dog park. I was there first and started kind of slow. We skated about an hour. I did first try manual and nose manual on the small pad which never happens and was quite exciting. Kevin was still dealing with hot pocket issues, but still ripping. I had some better front 50s on the taller pad, a couple fakie nosegrinds on the curb, almost first try kick back 50, remotely close to kick back tail on the curb. Flip tricks didn’t go so well.

Then we went to Berthoud high. I had an idea, but it wouldn’t work. I would one up my Stubborns trick with a shove though which felt cool. Kevin did like 5 tricks while I tried one.

After some food and MRKT we went to Fossil. I was so stiff and sore, not much happened. We both did some crooks and a couple other tricks.

(pain level 4/10 not so bad at the start but by the end of the day it was worse)
