See.

Got called for work at 5:50 am. Ugh. That felt ridiculously early and all day I was tired. I got out early on a really warm afternoon were the sun was finally out and instead of going skating right away I went to sleep and woke up still feeling tired. Jake and Rob hit me up and a few minutes later we were rolling to Safeway ledges to meet Neil and the Square State kids. I was very unmotivated. The only things that I felt remotely good about were crooks on the low fence ledge and a hurricane (no grind though) on the main ledge. Neil was having troubles with his knee, but still had no problems ollieing over two cinder blocks a million times and doing speedy lipsslides. Rob did a cab noseslide! He had another banger at the end that I’m not remembering right now. Doh. Jake had hops over the cinder blocks too and had a line with front 180 the blocks and fakie front tail. Wowsers. Blake, Brendan and Alec all ripped. Brendan and Alec could ollie the cinder block like it was a crack. Darn kids. Near the end D5 and a crew showed up. So weird seeing them there.

Then we all went to Broomfield park when Fullertron showed up. The park was super crowded with bikers, skaters and mud from the floods. Luckily it thinned out a bit shortly. That park gets mad busy because no one really stops and it’s always just craziness. So I really didn’t see a whole lot of what else was happening. I tried a lot of John Brandows. Aka slappy switch front noseslides. I hadn’t really gone back to switch before which was way fun. The locals there rip. There was a million amazing tricks going down on the brick qp and the ledges at full speed. I saw Fullertron do a sick b/s boneless on the brick qp. Jake and I boardslid the tiny rail first try. Blake, Alec and Brendan all boardslid the flat and down of the rail. A couple front 50s when down to. I settled into blue ledge/quartapotty with Rob. I would land a bonked front nosegrind, be bummed that I didn’t pop out enough, do a trick on the qp, then a trick on the blue ledge. I got a few back 5-0s, almost with shove out. I had tried a bunch of front nosegrinds when Rob started trying them. He landed one about 5 tries later and it bummed me out big time. Not that he did it, just how bad I am at skateboarding. I almost called it quits for the night, but kept at it and a few tries later finally managed to land one without bonking. Whew. It felt great though and my spirits soared back to being happy and for the next few minutes I skated about as good as I can. First try front 50 kickflip out. Treflips. Almost fakie treflip. Lots of tricks on the quartapotty like fakie front 50, front d 180, back 50 fakie, fakie joe hamilton, etc. Unfortunately Jake was hungry so we had to leave. Doh. Glad I finally warmed up after 3 hours of skating though.
