Setup a new 8.38 and put some shorts on for a brief flatground session. I was still feeling arthritic and only did a couple kickflips. It was more shove its, 180s, bigspins, halfcabs.

Had another super busy day at work and had to text/gchat myself silly trying to coordinate the session. It was stressful. We took the short cut to Fort Collins and were to MRKT by 5:20. Not bad! Then we went to Spring Canyon. The crew was John, Matt, Fuzz, Carleigh, Jack, Dave, Rob and me. When we got to the park it was windy. Rob was cursing. My arthritis was kicking. Matt was dizzy. It was weird.

I skated very badly. Got a rare f/s nosegrind, a small boardslide transfer, a little line with manaul the pad then a kickflilp really low on the qp. My arthritis was kicking though and I was really struggling and frustrated.

Carleigh was off in the pool. I saw a run with a carve over the stairs and a deatbox grind. Wowsers. later on a kickflip and then pole jam.

Fuzz ollied the rail to 50 on the box. Quick up then front 50 the bench then noseslide the ledge. I think?

The wind got to Jack. He didn’t skate much after a slam trying to boardslide over the door.

I haven’t seen John skate in awhile. He had some nice front 50s up the hump, quick up to front 50, some darn good kickflips, pivot fakies, and the highest wallies ever (ha).

Rob had some nice alley oop wallrides, nollie front lips, but pulled a hamstring and had to sit out most of the session.

Matt was ripping. Back nosegrind the whole long ledge, back 5-0 back 180 it too, back lip the little rail, buncha tricks on the bench, nice b/s ollie on the qp.

Fullerton was in effect. Front board to fakie the ledge off the pad, back tail fakie on the tiny qp and the bigger one, sickest line with feeble transfer, blunt transfer then early grab transfer.

Mike had met up with us. He had some super long boardslide transfers, no comply pole jams, switch no comply pole jams, Mike rules.

Then things got silly. It started with Rob going towards the pole jam and just kind of hucking his board and grabbing it and setting it down. We cracked up. Then it became a lap of like 10 of us trying the same thing. It was hilarious.

Then we started going the slappy grind down this. Rob got hurt trying it and john didn’t try it, but everyone else got one or two. It was so fun. Then it just kept getting more carried away. Dave killed it with the coffin grind. He did some better ones too. Fuzz got a tuck knee one. Jack did one to manual. Dave got a 5-0 too. Mike went switch! I tried some weird one for awhile with both feet on the tail and my hands on the nose, but I just kept falling and making everyone laugh. Then the sprinkler turned on and we scrambled to get out of there. The dork session at the end more then made up for the bad skating earlier.
