Went to Crisis for awhile, sold some null, hung with Fuzz, laughed a little and then went to the Broomfield park. Almost no one was there when I got there. I pumped around the flow bowl for awhile. That thing is fun. Didn’t really try any tricks then did a few wallrides on the front of the bank/hubba and moved into the street section. John showed up. We did our typical dorking on the blue pad and quartapotty. It was a blast. John had some good nollie back tails. I had a couple short fakie nosegrinds. Wanted to try something out, but never got there. Came close to kickflip 50s. Neil showed up. We all played manual down the angled pad, trick on qp, nose manual up it. Neil got it quick. John got the first 2 easy and maybe the nose manual too. I didn’t get either manual. Then the dudes from Wyoming randomly showed up. Matt Warner in the house! Dude rules. And Shaun too. So fun to watch them shred. They killed it. Neil was also killing it. When he gets in the zone and does laps around the park landing everything it’s super fun to watch. Such a good ollie, his lipslides, front tails, nollie back neil’s, everything. I had a little contest line of boardslide the little rail, crooks the black ledge, front 50 shove the black ledge. Neato. John and Neil started to kind of chill. Shaun had to leave. Matt too. I tried a bunch of f/s nosegrinds on the blue ledge, but didn’t get the nollie out. Did get some back 5-0s though. Still loving the smaller board. The weather was perfect. Sunny around 80 with a little breeze. Fun session. Then I bailed quick to hit 303 and get back in time for dinner. Happy to have a decent skate day after the previous day.

What a long day. Had to get up at 4:00am to bring my mom to the hospital for a minor surgery. Everything went well and while she napped in the afternoon I was to run up to MRKT and sell some boards and maybe skate a little. The hospital is in Loveland and I just kind of drove north on the rode I was on not really knowing where it went. Low and behold I ended up on Lemay and there was Fossil Creek on the left. Decided I should give that a try. My body was in worse shape then I had imagined. Not sure if it was lack of sleep, arthritis or both, but I had nothing. No confidence and no coordination. I did have some decent crook grinds going though. At one point I tried a line with back 50 on the curb high ledge over the brick section, crook on the ledge then tried a nollie treflip since that is the exact spot I hucked my first one and started thinking it would be possible. That was about the only brief time period where I skated remotely ok. I did a few other tricks, but really didn’t have much of anything. I tried quite a few things that I would have been proud of. Hucked a bunch of kickflip noseslides that went in perfect, but I’m not sure what would happen if I committed both feet to it. Also almost got front tailslide over the little brick section under the curb ledge. I skated, it wasn’t pretty or even that fun, but I skated and sometimes that’s all that matters.
