Friday afternoon after a snow storm and that Colorado sun we were able to get out and skate. I was about 15 minutes after Dave and he had already texted that he was over it and going to leave. Ha. The ledges were covered in snow, but Dave had brushed off the launch ramps. The wind was pretty brutal at times and it felt really cold. But we skated and ended up having a fun session. Dave got a frontside ollie from the low to high, I couldn’t get it backside. We both got straight transfers from the high to low. Dave did deck check transfer from low to high. We had some scary boardslides on the tiny sketchy flatbar. Dave would also feeble it and frontboard 270 out. We tried some ollies over a taller flatbar. I tried a million kickflips on the fresh ramp and couldn’t get one. Was so bummed. Flip tricks in general felt terrible. Goodbye Aces. Too bad because everything else about them felt great.
