I normally update this site at work, but it’s been way too busy lately. Ugh. Anyways, day 2 of KOTC started at Skellys house, breakfast at the Rainbow, shop time at MRKT and then finally some skating in Cheyenne. First stop was the Cheyenne park where I mostly filmed people do good stuff. It was rad though because everyone handled the park challenges is no time. Here’s a couple of the big ones. Daryl ollie the big 5 and Brian pole jam to fakie.daryl olliebrian polejam fakieIn fact I didn’t really skate much until we got to Johnson Middle School where I skated a ton, but was super bummed on how I was skating. Niel and Jack killed that spot. Fuzz ripped it too. In the end I got a kind of fun run doing a boardslide down the curbslide followed by a kickflip off the brick thing. Ollieing up the brick pad was the hardest thing for me. Ugh, if only I could ollie.glen boardslideglen kickflipAfter that it was a bunch more ollies and drop challenges followed by a good mexican meal then more park skating. I sucked it up once again, but did two tricks I’ve never done before on the little green qpipe. fakie fifty fakie, chink chink. Cool. I had a few ollies over the little ledge and tried to manual the taller pad. At the end I was trying to wallride to cali grind, but didn’t come close. I managed to ollie up the long two with a bad landing, but whatevs, it was fun. Up next was one of the funnest party nights ever.Go to Carleigh’s blog for way more
