Jake and I went to Valmont on the way to Longmont to meet Dave. We warmed up with some tail scrapes across manual pads and not landing much. I managed the long manual and a nose manual. Jake challenged me to a game of SKATE and it didn’t go so good for him. I got him letters on front shove, fakie flip, halfcab flip, varial flip and one of the ugliest treflips I’ve done to date.

Then we went to Niwot high. It was hot and the ledge didn’t grind well. We struggled. Jake managed front tail to fakie, halfcab noseslide, a front 50 that took way too many tries for him to be happy, front 5-0 and ended on a back 50 that also took a long time. I got a crooks jib, halfcab noseslide, front 50, front 5-0, some bad front noses. Tried to ollie onto a different ledge and kickflip off, but didn’t really get the ollie up. Hucked kickflip noseslides for awhile and got remotely close. Dave showed and we pretty much just left. Doh, sorry Dave.

We went to this new spot. Those banks are steeper then they look. We started off slow not knowing what the spot would entail and it turned into a really fun session. Dave and Jake jumped over a large cable spool via hippy jump and ollie respectively then did front tail and pivot fakie. Sick. Dave also feebled a sketchy flat bar. I got a halfcab flip and then a pivot on the bank coming down past the wood. Neat. Then we skated flatground for awhile and Jake did a bunch of heelflips which he hasn’t landed in years. Rad.
