Went to Longmont park right after work. It was colder out then I thought it would be. I cruised around for awhile. That park has some good stuff. Had a good feeling kickflip on the main bank, some horrible ollies on hips, etc. Bernie showed up as it was getting dark and showed me there was a button to turn on the lights. Ha. Nolan too. We all kind of skated the lower C ledge. Well, they did. Bernie manualled it, Nolan nose manualed it. I ran into it. Nolan ended up doing quite a few basics on it all easy. Then we skated the little ledge for a long time. I was struggling. Did front 50 shove, front 50 back 180 and kick back 50 that took 50 tries and I can’t believe Nolan had the patience to film it. Thanks Nolan! Before filming me he did a bunch of tricks. Back tail, nollie front nose, front tail shove, slammed on back tail shove. Bernie did some neat ones like fakie 5-0 shove out, back tail, front smith 180, back 5-0 almost 360 shove out. After I got my trick we did some no comply 360s then went to Chipotle to eat. Yum. Then I still had a 180 nose manual to do before going to Jason’s so I stopped at Red Curbs and went to work. It was COLD! It took a few tries. It looked like crap. I didn’t care.
