Instead of taking my typical mid morning gym break I went to the nearby skatepark again. I was really upset with how poorly I skated last night and wanted to redeem myself. I did. I skated faster, harder, did some new stuff and had fun. Pretty early on I had a great feeling treflip on flat. The best one I’ve done in awhile. I had some front 50s on the little ledge, crooks on it, crooks on the taller part of it, halfcab noseslide. I was determined to ollie onto the middle ledge near the flatbars. I got close, close, then somehow a miracle happened and I was riding on top of it so I front 180’d off and smiled. I also got crooks up one of the escalator ledges which felt great, front 50 too. Last two things I was trying were front shove off the main ledge (without ollie’ing up sorry) and ollie over the small side of an escalator ledge. Got the ollie pretty easy and instead of trying the front shove again I left. Hyped.

After work I was determined to not take a nap in hopes of sleeping better. I played football with Ollie for awhile and it was a total blast. It was a lot of running. Had a smoothie for dinner and left for Crisis where I would hang out for quite awhile. I had watched some good tech east coast skating during the day.

So I really felt like skating a granite ledge. But this is Colorado where there basically are no granite ledges. I lit up Safeway ledge with my car lights. Did some 50s both ways, but punched the wall in the cold once and was over it. Mainly because the rest of the area was too dark to do flatground and stuff. I went to the park. There were quite a few people there as usual. There was an older scooter kid with a helmet doing laps on the quartapotty/blue ledge so I lost my motivation to skate that. The black ledge had a crowd too. I tried a front 50 and shot out as it was so insanely waxed and fast. I would go on to do a few more, a few crooks. I was really uninspired and tired though. I tried to boardslide the tiny rail a few times and failed. I told myself if I didn’t get it the next try I would leave. I ended up leaving very frustrated. I should have taken a nap. I didn’t even sleep good. Ugh.
