skate journal: tired/sick skating with chad at valmont then campus (dec 20, 2014)
I was still feeling pretty sick from a cold that kept me off the board for two whole days! I waited for Chadman to show up rather then be out skating already. We went to Valmont to start on the mellow warm up pads. We did a warm up game of SKATE that Chad one easily. We did a lot of basics to begin it though. Chad ollied the curb cut gap. I came close to 180 nose manual. Chad did a 180 nose manual body varial. It was tight!
Then we went to campus and started at the one stair ledge spot. Chad was hyped on it and nose manualled it and tried to do slappy front nose to fakie off it like I did. We hit the slappy ledge for a bit. Chad had some mean front 5-0s. I had some back 50s and maybe a crook. Then we went to the newer long ledge. Had some fun there doing a few basics. Chad was trying manual to kickflip out, but didn’t quite get it. Then Will and a few of the younger Boulder kids showed up. They all sat except for Will who was ripping. Chinese nollie flip, front, back tails on the tall part of the ledge, Ripping. Then Chad and I headed back to the car via a pretty fun downhill cruise.
