Went to Longmont park right after work. It was pretty warm in the 50s. Riley was there. He was starting with some nice manuals around the top ledge. Manual front 180, manual no comply 180, nose manual 180. I started by doing axle stalls on the noping qp and trying the no comply 360. I put down a few very pivoted and horrible ones before landing the miracle above. Then I mostly tried the switch one for awhile in between filming Riley. Riley did a bunch of tricks down the rail and over the hip. Man he rips. Then we skated the across and down ledge up top. Well, Riley skated it. I couldn’t get into front 50 to save my life. It was very depressing. Riley front 50’d the rail and feebled it, then switch front 50’d the ledge all before I landed one front 50. In fact I never landed it. I dared Riley to fakie ollie the 5 stair first try and said I’d commit to ollie if he did it. He did. I didn’t. Then we skated the bump to ledge for awhile. I managed a weak noseslide, but I didn’t have to nollie heel into it like Riley did.
