Pretty sore. Sean showed up and we met Garrett then stopped by a tall ledge in Gunbarrel on the way. Well, Sean nosegrinded it, Garret front nosed it, I just did a b/s flip out of the bump.

Then to Rocky Mountain where we crewed up hard! First time seeing Rob in a long time, he cruised around getting his skate feet back. Garrett was going pretty hard, Hayden too. Noe was kind of hiding skating flatground. I didn’t do much of anything, had some slappys, a couple flippers. There was so many people it was kind of crazy. Dan, Chad, Dave, Joe, Bo, Jack. It was almost too many people to organize, but we did and we went to West View school. Most didn’t skate. Garrett, Sean and Noè got some baller tricks. Bo almost ollied in.

Finally some warm weather! Still lots of snow about, but I know the stashes. I was wanting to skate flatground and knew Platte would be dry on the south side. I would go on to have an okay session, a bit frustrating at times. Especially heelflips, they just didn’t want to flip. I skated a little over an hour and managed 11 flippers, a few of which were absolute garbage.

kickflips – felt good
fakie flips – felt good
halfcab flip – Had a few, they felt alright
fakie bigflip – one bad one
backside flip – okay
heelflip – seriously took forever and barely came around when I got it
f/s halfcab heel – total slop tail on the gound came to a halt
nollie varial flip – directly after the f/s hc heel with both heels on the ground, but I was still hyped. Haven’t done it in a while
horrible fakie varial flip
f/s halfcab flip
terrible treflip

After a break and some refueling I ended up at Douglass which had snow around the good side of the main ledge. I started on the side. Warm up runs felt good and I tried to skate fast. Switch 180, nollie tail, pop shove out of the bump. Would get some front 50s that had a tiny bit of speed, accidental 5-0s, front 50 180 and front 50 shove. Also a couple flippers. Then I went to the front of the school and skated a different bench that was already waxed beyond belief. It didn’t go well, even noseslides were hard. I would get a few crooks and tried to line them out by curving around and doing front 50. But never got the front 50 and had to stop as I was getting too depressed. Kind of a bummer end to a pretty good day.
