On a surprisingly warm afternoon Rob, Sean and I met up at a chill Broomfield park. It’s been a few days since the session so hard to remember a whole lot. I had a warm up run that took a while which was fun. Axle stall the quartapotty, nose jib 270, nollie front 180 out of the bank. I didn’t have much energy and my knee was hurting pretty bad. Also a run with an ollie onto the black ledge, kickflip out of the bank, front slash the bank to curb, noseslide the ledge. Rob had some no comply shoves out of the bank, front tails the bank to curb, crooks, back 50s, back 50 no comply out, and a rare case of not being able to manual. Sean so effortlessly rattled off his basics which would be after black enders for me. We played a game of SKATE and I was the first one out. I know I got a letter on cab and was out on no comply 360. Rob left, I filmed Sean for a bit. Then Sean and I played another game of SKATE where I got pink slipped and I think the only trick I landed was randomly a first try f/s halfcab flip. I took 4 tries to get a kickflip. I had a smaller setup this day, I mostly liked it but the board was too small. Gonna finally setup a new board next time I skate if and when that is as my knee pain was just too much to deal with.

(setup 5/10 null 8.1 all you need, jessup ultragrip, royal 144s hollow kingpin, spitfire f4 99a 52mm classic, new balance numeric 288 sport b/w size 11.5)
(pain level 8/10 left knee is toast)
