skate journal: brief rainbow ledge with dave (sep 18, 2015 day 253)

rainbow ledge boulder colorado skate spot

Went to rainbow ledge right after work on another gorgeous September Colorado day. I felt pretty stiff and sore, typical after a full work week. I warmed up with some slappys which were more fun then I remember. I thought of this spot because Jack and I were recently talking about ledges in Boulder and he reminded me this one is really good. I get freaked out by the narrowness on frontside grinds, but I should get over that. Anyway, Dave showed up shortly after and we were both mostly doing slappys for awhile and it was fun. I had a crook and then took a long time to get slow back and front 50s. Dave was going mach 2 to try and slappy the whole thing. He got somewhat close. He had some nice slappy 50 to back tail. I managed an incredibly slow front 50 front shove out and a great feeling crooks on the downhill part. Then I had to leave.
