My new shoes.  Emerica Herman 2s.  Those DCs didn’t last long at all.Neil, Jason and I went to go meet Carleigh, Brian and Fuzz for some street skating in Longmont.  We met up with Carleigh at the little under cover manny pad near Playa Azul.  Jason and I both got first try mannies.  I guess it helps to have new shoes, wheels and a deck.  Wow that’s a lot.  The mannies went well.  Neil and I both got the long way nose manual and manual.  I tried to throw in a 180 at the end, but never got it.  I almost got a kickflip manual the short way.  I say the short way, but it really was still like 20 feet which was about 2 feet two long for me.  Doh.Carleigh had to bail so we went on to Longmont, picked up Brian and met Fuzz at the OG Off The Couch spot.  Some Longmont heads were there and built a gnarly wood contraption that Jason and Fuzz rolled over.  That was enough it was sketchy.  I was sucking, but luckily Brian was ripping trying the craziest curb transfer trick.  Back 180 pivot bigspin.  Or something.  I attempted to film it for awhile, but the cops came and Brian got denied.  Doh.Next we went to the Longmont ditch where I was having the worst session ever for the first 30 minutes.  I was being a baby I suppose.  Fuzz, Lazer, Jason and Brian were ripping.  Oh yeah, so Lazer had joined us.  Fuzz was trying a ridiculous line of front 5-0 then back noseblunt on the other side.  Jason was locking into his pattented best back tails ever.  Lazer did a front smith grind which really isn’t possible on that thing.  I was  bailing back 50s.  Ugh.  I finally got a couple and a back 5-0.  Tried a few back 50 reverts, but didn’t get them around and just gave my wheels little flat spots instead.  At the end I got a little back nosegrind in only a few tries to make it not the worst session for me.
