Woke up kind of early. Had some time before meeting Garrett and Joe so I went to dog park. And I would end up having a couple of hours as they were running late. There was a crew of older dudes I didn’t know. I was very sore, the size 11 Last resorts were killing me. I had done some slow lurb basics including a back 50 before I went and switched into some Halfcabs that were in my car. My feet were mostly too sore to do flip tricks. A dude named Mike introduced himself and gave me some kind words and it cheered me up a lot. Paul showed. I had done some front 50s on the green box and managed a shove out. Then we left for Fort Collins.

We skated campus. I started filming Joe. Then got a no comply on the dumb bank to ledge nearby. Some more filming at a little manny pad. Then Paul and I skated a C ledge for a bit. He got front 50, I got some noseslides. Then we ended up at the long hubba. I was so sore it was insane. But I tried some noseslides and I got up on it a few times, but never got past halfway. Bo was the first to land anything – a front 50. Jason would get some front 50s later. Hayden some noseslides. Other than that no one landed anything although some tricks were close. Then it was dinner time.

After a rainy night I was ready to skate earlyish on a Saturday. Bratcher said he was at library so I went too. There were some other dudes too I’ve seen before. Positive dudes, excessive filmers. I had a setup change and I would like it. 8.3 with thunder team hollows. My shoes felt small, but good. I would have a decent session. Noseslides, crooks, switch noseslides all good. Front 50s worked on the lower ledge. Had a few on the taller ledge, but it was a struggle. Almost got a line of front 50 the taller ledge followed by back 50 shove the lower ledge. Got a 3rd try treflip. Did some other halfcab noseslides and fakie 50s and what not. Bratcher was ripping too. He he had some taller front and back 50s, noseslides, boardslides. At the end we skated the C beam which was a fun ender.

Then after some lunch Dave hit me up to skate and we met at Valmont aka Toddler Park. We were lucky for a while without many toddlers. Dave did a cool fakie front tail 360 out over the hip. I was all over the place for a while, legs were starting to hurt. Managed some okay noseslides on the PJ ledge then managed the best feeling crooks I’ve done in a while. We tried some boardslide nollie shove transfers. Dave got a good one.
