Had the day off work and finally got around to setting up a new board and wheels.  Couldn’t think of anywhere I really wanted to skate so I just took off down the bikepath from my house and ended up at Willville.  The bikepath was so fun.  I pushed fast and was borderline speed wobbles at points.  Rad.  I dorked around on the bank manny pad thing for awhile and even landed a run I probably would use for Off The Couch.  Halfcab flip, boneless polejam bash thing, manny.  Maybe I’ll go back sometime.  I then tried it with a 360 flip and couldn’t land one to save my life.  I’m going to blame it on the new setup.  After awhile Jason showed up and we went to the Iris and 30th ledge.  Neither of us skated all that good, but I had fun and came within one of my 360 flip quota.  Oh I forgot to mention, it was super calm and nice out all day until I went skating and it got super windy.  I hate you wind!

Pretty tired from staying up late working on a new Off The Couch teaser with Neil we went skating.  We started at Stonehenge where we were supposed to meet Sean, Mike and Taylor from Ft Collins then we were going to head to Denver.  After an hour of Stonehenge we decided to move on and ended up at a ledge off Arapahoe.  I skated it like crap, but Fuzz killed it.  He skated so fast.  It ruled.  Still no heads from Ft Collins so we went to this bikepath bank spot I’ve never been to before.  It ended up being really sick.  I still skated like crap.  Imagine that I was tired.  I always skate like crap when I’m tired.  I ended up filming Fuzz do a polejam gap nearby.  Pretty rad.  We ended the day at Naropa where not much went down, but it was super fun.  I did a little gap to manny then rode down the grass.  Riding down the grass ride there the first time is so scary.  All in all a fun day.

Met Nate at his apartment in North Boulder after getting out of work early around 3.  We skated the bikepath ledge between 28th & Folsom on Iris.  It’s not the best one, but we had fun.  We were trying lots of flatground tricks too so it made it even funner.  I made my 5 360 flips quota and maybe landed two tricks on the ledge.  Oh well it was fun.  Then it got dark and we went behind Safeway and made a little ledge/manny pad out of plastic crates that was super fun.  Nate killed the backside grinds through the crack.  I manualled it. Yippee.  Then Nate got me trying frontside lipslides and I committed to a few.  I totally want to learn that trick and that was the tallest thing I’ve tried them on.  We finished with a game of SKATE that took awhile, but was fun.
