Right after work I ate dinner then went straight to swimming with the kids.  Right after getting home I went out for a short session and was too tired to hit anyone up.  Went to Steelyards where I didn’t quite have the energy I wish I had.  Ok things included treflips, nollie back 180 off the curb, kickflip up kickflip off first try and coming super close to a manual shove out going the long way on the manny pad.  Then the cops came and I left.  Boo.

skate journal: Arvada with Nullers (Aug 15, 2010)

Needed to bring some boards to Community so Max, Davis and I met Bernie, Mikey, Sam there and eventually Jeff at the new Arvada park.  That park rules.  Max and Jeff destroyed it with crazy lines.  I skated ok, had some fun runs with front disaster on the qpipe at the top, ollie the twinkie, noseslide the ledge, back smith the 2′ qpipe.  I did a few front feebles on the little qpipe too, and got lots of Rampy tricks on the little qpipe at the top including fakie pivot fakie.  Jeff had a really good run with back 5-0 to fakie on the twinkie with a switch nosegrind 180 on the ledge.  Max did first try fakie manual fakie tre out.  Ridiculous.  Bernie almost got front smith fs flip out.  Mikey did tons of back tailslides.After some Goodtimes we skated a marble ledge spot.  After some warming up I did a noseslide on it and eventually a boardslide.  Then I filmed for a long time while not much was landed until Mikey got nollie nosegrind and my battery ran out.  After that I made myself ollie out over the ledge which I was finally able to do.  Fun day.
