Super nice day. I rolled to Longmont and met Dave and Rob at Rocky Mountain. We skated for a solid couple hours. The recent rains had brought a lot of little pebbles to the parking lot which was kind of annoying. Although lately it doesn’t bum me out as much lately since it reminds me I’m not skating a skatepark. The curb was the main warm up medium. Rob did back 50 to back lip then went on to do nollie front lips to nose manual including one with a shove out. I was starting to get in a groove but broke my board on a heelflip. Argh! I was able to skate it backwards, but I definitely lost some motivation. I took a long time to get a kickflip up the curb. Dave on the other hand was lofting kickflips up the curb and lining it out with stalls on the bank to side curb and front 50 on the ledge. After a while I just sat and filmed Dave/Rob skate the curb. Dave’s switch crooks shoves make me jealous.

After heading home, some food and a nap, I went to Platte. I had put my trucks on an old 8.5 setup which I very much did not like. I struggled to ollie up the curb, couldn’t crook the ledge. Yeah, really didn’t do much.
