Sean and I met up with Bo, Hayden and Noè at Edora. I fell dropping in immediately on a bank and it hurt my knee. Great. I went on to do nothing and dislike my shoes and setup. Sean wasn’t feeling it either but did have some good manuals. Bo did his warm up run of kickflip into the bank then treflip up the euro first try. Noè did b/s flip and bigflip over the hip.

Then we went to a little plaza and met up with Chad L. Bo got a heelflip real quick. Hayden linked a a couple things together that was awesome. Noè put together another marathon line with all the hits. Then Sean worked out a banker as the rest of us kept the security guard engaged in discussion. Ha ha.

Off to crusty manny pad that Noè wanted to skate there was a nearby ledge and set of stairs that I posed an ollie down that was depressing just how much of a pose it actually was. Noè went on to get his trick and man it was so good. We celebrated with a dinner.

Then I dropped Sean off at his car and went to Rocky Mountain to try Dave’s latest challenge – fakie front crooks. It took me a while to get warmed up and I hated my setup the entire time. Ugh. I would get a few flippers and was starting to get into the fakie crooks when Dave and his girls showed up. We both basically tried it and would only get stalls with no grind. Doh. I really wanted to knock the trick out, but alas, I will have to keep trying.
