Here’s a teaser for Bernie’s video he’s been working on with his buddies.  It’s looking pretty good, even the 10 seconds of black to start it off.  Ha, Bernie you’re the man!

I need one of these for the wall!

I’d love to see Lazer skate Rampy with one of these.

Drove up to Winter Park to meet the Factory with Farm cranked the whole way. Showed up at the scooter/tourist infested skatepark and dorked around for a bit until TF showed up. I wasn’t skating too well at all, but kept at it. It took me forever to do this little ollie into boardslide transfer, but after that things started clicking. I got a manual on the step up manny pad pretty quickly, then went for nose manny which took awhile, but just ollieing up the first ledge at speed every time was fun enough to keep trying. Brian, Neil, Fuzz, Carly and Lazer were playing add a trick in the bowl or something. It started sprinkling lightly and before leaving I got a nollie treflip on flat first try and a b/s kickflip on the big wall not first try. Pretty fun session.Later in the evening after the rain we ended up at Kremmling skatepark where one of my favorite sessions ever went down.  There was some puddles around so we could really only skate the shallow (but still vert) bowl and the street area.  I started off pretty slow, but finally nailed a kickflip axle stall on the bank to curb to get me going.  Brian was ollieing all over the place.  It was awesome to see him cruising around cracking ollies.  He even ollied up the three stair.  He also rock fakied the crazy jersey barrier thing before anyone else had even set their board down.  Lazer, Neil and Fuzz were killing everything.  Lazer did a blunt to fakie on the bank to curb and a front feeble to fakie like it was nothing.  Carly kickflipped up the step up gap.  I ended up getting a wallie up the 3 stair and then we started skating the little bowl again for awhile.  It took me awhile, but I got a rock ‘n roll in it and a silly layback front rock thing which I’ve never done before.Next we played a game of flatground SKATE that ended up going on forever and was a total blast.  Pretty much everyone was doing ‘double or nothings’ on every trick.  It was hilarious.  I got two letters on a double or nothing front shove.  Lame!  I did a heelflip for Brian and managed to do his b/s 360 no comply when it came up.  The whole game was hilarious.  Somehow Fuzz was one of the first ones out as he couldn’t get a 43 shifty.  So whenever it would have been his turn he kept trying it.  Brian pulled out the best 360 flip ever landed on the back wheels at less than 270 and slid for awhile before riding away.  Epic.  Brian won the game on a front foot impossible. Yeap, I repeat, Brian won the game of SKATE.  He said it’s his first win ever.  Rad.At this point we were all beaming having a ball.  Brian, Fuzz and I were working on tricks instead of leaving.  Brian dropped into the jersey barrier then dropped in fakie from and axle stall.  It was the most retarded thing I’ve seen him do I think.  Lazer dropped in switch.  It was ridiculous.  Fuzz was working on front disaster in the taller area of the shallow bowl and got it.  Brian grinded over the stairs.  Lazer boardslid over the stairs.  I managed an axle stall which was pretty scary to me and one of the best feeling tricks I’ve done in awhile.  Coming in off the pool coping the board was airborn for a bit.  Right before leaving Fuzz and I tried a few 3 flips until we landed them since we hadn’t yet.  Then we left.  One of my favorite sessions ever.

Jason and I met up with Mikey and Jack for some skating and Null filming. We started near Silver Mine subs and just kinda rolled around for awhile looking at stuff. We skated for a bit at the old folks home bank. I haven’t been there in years. Jack god some wallrides on the fence. Jason did a crail I think. I got a bad b/s flip. We messed around on flat ground for awhile and I came very close to the elusive switch kickflip.We moved into campus and checked out spot after spot, but nothing really went down until we got all the way up near Meta were Jack filmed a nice little gap back 5-0. After we skated a new spot for awhile just kinda screwing around. Jack had some cool mannys and wallies. It looked like a gnarly storm was coming and rain drops started falling so we started skating down to the car. It started to get worse so we ducked under the enginnering building area and the gnarliest storm I’ve ever seen unleashed itself. High powered winds and the hardest rain/hail I’ve ever seen. You couldn’t even see but 10 feet. It lasted for about 10 minutes and then the sun came out. CO is crazy.Later on Nate and I met up at the bank to curb spot by Neil’s house. I was pretty beat from being out all day already, but ended up skating really hard. It took Nate awhile to show up at the spot and I just started trying a really long line. Kickflip a manhole cover, ollie up the curb to manny, slappy lip the bank to ledge. Got that one. Then started trying pop shove over the manhole over, manny, kickflip the metal grate, slappy lip. Didn’t get that one. Going the other way I tried front 180 up the curb, halfcab flip, boardslide. Think I got that one too. After awhile the heat and exhaustion set in and I was more into just trying tricks on the curb with Nate. The only new trick I got was slappy front lip to fakie. I came close to crooks pop out as well. Also came really close to switch kickflips again. Argh. So hard.
