Had a super fun day with the family taking some funny photos for our Christmas cards.  Around 7 I headed to downtown Boulder with one line that’s been in my head forever.  Just a dumb line that should be easy of ollie’ing a little rock, front 180 up onto a ledge, switch front 180 off in and alley off Broadway.  I parked a couple blocks away and dorked around for a bit in some other alleys ollieing up some curbs.  Then I went to the main attraction and was reminded at how weird the rock ollie was.  It didn’t take long though and I got the line in a couple tries.  It was fun though.  I’m not sure why I had thought about it so much.  I tried it a few times and tried another line coming back with a somewhat high speed manual, a couple good pushes, ollie up a curb then ollie onto the ledge.  I wanted to kickflip off, but right when I was feeling the line a car parked right in the way.  Lazy jerk parking in an alley.  I move on to the fun brick area that Josh Steele kills in Lumber Jockeys.  I played around for a bit before settling with a line I was kinda hyped on.  Manual around the corner at the top of the hill, kickflip up the curb, a few downhill pushes followed by a powerslide, the worst one foot attempt that skateboarding has ever seen then ollied on the little narrow curved ledge.  Pretty fun.  I slammed pretty hard on one of the manual attempts where I came out and landed in a crack.  Other then that it was a pretty awesome night and now I’m three days away from 300 days of skating.
