Tired from working early I went to the Longmont park around 4.  Only a couple bikers were there at that time and Nate, Bernie and Josh were on their way.  I spent the first hour dorking around not really trying anything, just getting a feel for my new setup.  It was quite fun actually.  After awhile I started trying to ollie over the rail out of the kicker.  Super scary to me and I never came close to getting it.  Then i played a game of SKATE with Bernie and CJ that I lost badly.  The funniest part was all of us complaining about something new (Bernie had new shoes, I had new deck and wheels, CJ had a new deck too).  What abunch of dorks, theirs kids that would love a new deck out there.  Anyways the rest of the session was basically a ledge session with Nate and Bernie.  Bernie was trying fakie 5-0 frontside halfcab flip out.  I was trying to learn front smiths as I’ve never done one.  So Bernie and I had a race.  First one to get their trick gets a Gatorade from the other.  I landed it first.  So hyped, never done a front smith before.  Now I feel almost as cool as Joe Hamilton.  Almost.  Bernie never got me that drink.  Jerk.
