skate journal: brief rocky mountain with dave (oct 26, 2024)
After going to Northside in Fort Collins to witness the amazing halloween contest that MRKT does I stopped at Rocky Mountain to meet Dave. The sun went behind the mountains around when I got there, but we still had some decent time. Dave was doing nollie back bigspins on the bank when I arrived. Then he did some nollie noseslides on the curb. He played them down, but they were amazing. I had a few slappies like normal, one ultra lame fakie back nosegrind, couldn’t get fakie front nosegrind. At the end I tried slow noseslide to crooks on the ledge. May have gotten a couple up into crook. Dave was doing nollies to fakie on the bank then switch body varials off the curb, back tailslide the curb. Ended it with a fakie crook ride on grind transfer off the curb. Fun, short session.
