Rob, Jack B and I rolled to Thornton and would meet Nick there. Warming up was extra rough. It was a while before I popped the board at all. That park is fun though and seemed like everyone got some stuff eventually. Bratcher front 50’d the tall ledge quickly. I had a fun line of crooks, manual tilt, grind the weird hip bank. We skated the ledge for a while and the ultra depressing front 50 devil almost got me. Luckily I got a couple slow ones, but I wasn’t happy. I got a b/s flip over the ultra small hip after one of them. Bratchers slappy was sick. Rob had some fire too halfcab boardslide, crooks, halfcab nose, front board. Also some cool manuals dropped down the two stair. Nick was doing good boardslides. Then on the hip I tried treflip for a while and could not get it to save my life so settled for varial flip. Also couldn’t get a fakie bigflip and felt so awkward on my board. Argh, that’s not good. Ended it with Nick boardsliding the top over the manny pad and I had a fun quick up to boardslide transfer in. Came remotely close to noseslide to fakie up onto the pad then switch front noseslide off, but pain and exhaustion had kicked in. Fun session and crew.
