skate journal: hard spots with carleigh (May 25, 2012)

Got off work at a decent time on a super nice friday. Met up with Carleigh then we went to the 30th & iris ledges. It was kinda dry and things didn’t start all that great for either of us. Eventually we landed some tricks though. Carleigh got noseslide, noseslide shove and almost 180 nosegrind. She also almost did a b/s flip on flat. I got some uphill crooks, slow front 50, front 50 180 out, front 50 shove, front 5-0 and a weird first try kick back tail with a slide that I couldn’t get again. Flatground was ok, got some heelflips, treflip, some kickflips.

Then we went to the crazy bikepath kicker in north Boulder. I’ve never skated it before. We both had some ollies. It’s really fun. I got a smallish kickflip too, but it felt cooler then I would have thought. That thing boosts you. Carleigh basically got pop shove, but fell off. I ended it by trying a big ollie and not even hitting the tail. Ugh. Even though we didn’t land a whole lot it felt cool to skate some harder kind of spots.
