skate journal: Longmont spots in the snow with Neil (Nov 29)
Posted in Skate Journal on November 30th, 2008 by corpoOn a dreary and snowy day I picked up Neil around 1pm. It had snowed overnight and wasn’t exactly warm (lower 40s), but we were told Longmont was “half dry” by Allan from SOL and Bernie. Well we got about half way to Longmont near where I work and there was way more snow. Pulling into Longmont and theres snow on the streets in spots. Ugh. Rather then turn around we check out a couple spots and see a manny pad spot that is mostly dry. Hyped to get some footage with snow surrounding us we jumped a fence and did it. Warming up wasn’t too hard for some reason and we both came away with some footage. Neil’s lines were of course sickness. Mine, well I got a line. Not horrible, not good. Although it did have a trick in it I’ve never done before – manual to cali grind off a curb. I also pulled off two nose manuals to backside nosegrind. Didn’t grind long, but it was fun. Didn’t reach my treflip quota but it was cold and I did manage a couple – one of which was one of the better ones I’ve done in awhile.
