Woke up and it was almost 50 out and sunny. A couple hours later it was cloudy and starting to flurry. Riley and crew were heading to Boulder, but they weren’t ready yet and I wanted to skate before the snow became too much. I went to Southern Hills feeling pretty sore around 10am. I warmed up with a few front/back 50s on the first step. It took awhile, but things began working out alright. At one point I had a really long run for me. Ollie onto a bench in the back area, front 180 off, fakie flip on flat, the worst halfcab noseslide ever, heelflip on flat, crooks a bench, noseslide to fakie a bench bailed a fakie tre. Did several front 50s on a bench. They weren’t too good though. It takes a lot for me to pop onto those benches. Tried to do nollie tres after the ones I landed, but never landed one. Popped down the two stair a couple times, got a front noseslide after one then went around the back and ollied onto a bench and back 180’d off. Then made myself skate flat for awhile. 10 flippers. Got heelflip, halfcab flip, varial flip, fakie flip, fakie bigflip, b/s flip, f/s halfcab flip, fakie varial flip, nollie varial flip and treflip. The treflip was the biggest struggle. I landed several with hands down, but stuck with it until I landed one without the hands down. It felt good at least. It got me wanting to skate around again, but the snow was really picking up. So I just propped up the ol’ phone to give Neil a taste of what he’s missing.

Then I went to Red Curbs to meet up with Riley, Nolan, Bernie, Julian and Ladd. As you can see Riley and Nolan were in full destroy mode. This is only part of it. I did a few slappies then stood around like a fool in the cold dadcaming the ripping.

I was feeling very arthritic and sore. Ugh. Met Jack at Ques then we checked out a nearby cement pond that was unfortunately wet. Then we went to the bank to curb/ledge spot to warm up. Most of the time that spot feels really hard to skate and this day was not exception. Especially in my condition. Jack boardslide the taller ledge, wallied up it, wallie to switch crooks transfer and some front 5-0s on the little one. I mostly just did tricks that don’t involve ollieing like slappy tail, switch noseslides band a few boardslides. Oh yeah, kind of did a hurricane. Then we went to a gap spot for Jack. He tried to switch front heel into a bank. Got close, but never rolled away. Before he started trying I did a couple ollie to axle stalls. Pretty fun.

@the_neviathan the switch front @rabethica was harder then i thought. I totally did it @hellagnarbrosevelt style, just not as good. Next challenge for you and @boredzinejp is a beanplant over something tiny like this. #theglenandjosholdfartlongdistanceinstagramtricksuperchallenge #andnate Thanks for filming on a hurt ankle @jackspanbauer.

Then we went to the Research Center. I was still feeling like crap. Took a long time to get a boardslide pop out. Jack started doing the grind to wallride he wanted to film so we filmed that. He got it pretty quick. So sick! Then I asked him to try it again so I could get a photo and he rolled his ankle. Oh man I felt bad. Sorry Jack. What a weird one, we think he actually rolled it against the wall. Luckily it wasn’t a bad one and hopefully he’ll be late shoving again soon. I went and tried the switch front noseslide for awhile to keep the old guy #theglenandjosholdfartlongdistanceinstagramtricksuperchallenge challenge going. I always thought I was sliding further, but once again once I see the footage the reality set it. Oh well. Then we went to St Julien to meet up with Bernie, Riley and Nolan but they weren’t there. I couldn’t ollie much so started hucking bean plants then Jack hobbled over and filmed it. Thanks Jack! Carleigh had shown up too and did a couple steezy kickflips. I had a back 180 over it too that felt really good. Then tried to piece together a little line of halfcab flip then b/s flip over the curb. The halfcab flip was not working though and I got really tired. Then we just hung out a bit before going our separate ways.
