skate journal: Longmont park with Nate (May 3)

New shoes.  Can’t deal with having the Herman’s that are too small for me.After one of the funnest days ever going to the Nuggets game with Ollie and my parents I had to go to Longmont to pickup the phone from work.  I went around 8 and picked up Nate on the way.  It was raining/wet/sprinkling all the way to the park which had some puddles, but was mostly dry.  And no one was there!  We started out on the mellow bank as it was the driest and ended up staying there for awhile doing flip tricks.  Nate threw done a lot of tech ones.  I was happy with a few first try tricks like fakie varial flip, halfcab flip and maybe another one.  Tricks that I was hyped on were a fakie treflip and a first time fakie bigspin flip. Now if only I could do these on steep walls.Then we kinda skated some other stuff.  Some ollies over the hips and whatnot.  The main ledge was wet so we didn’t skate that.  At the end we tried to 50 the long C ledge.  Nate got close.  Then we started a game of SKATE that ended early due to the lights shuttig off.  I got a treflip first try.  Sweet!
