Slept in later than expected. But went and met Gordon at dog park. Jesse would show later as would Hayden. It was kind of a weird scene at times with parents sitting on the ledge totally clueless and not even understanding when we asked them to move. Gordon was ripping. I was pretty sore, but would get going and skate alright. I had like 3 kickflips onto the pad and was almost able to try kickflip off. Gordon had kickflips up too and couldn’t get the one off either. I was also 2-2 on front 50s on the cement bench and almost got another with a shove out. On the lurb I had a few tricks like front 50 shove, joe hamilton, front 50 back 180. Some of the Converse dudes came and skated before the 303 Hill contest. Chris Athans was rad to watch, he had some sick moves like first try impossible over the bump to bar, casual front shove over the bump to bar, frontside flip from flat into the metal grate. Townley treflip over the bump to bar and long front blunts were cool. Jesse, Gordon and I played SKATE. I was first out, but it was kind of a bunch of random tricks I wouldn’t really expect to land. It was a fun session. Oh yeah, Hayden came at the end and did his casual manuals and almost noseslide 270 shove.

Went to Broomfield after breakfast as it had been raining early. Met up with Will and Sean, Taylor was there. I had a setup change, 8.25 with slappy lows. It treated me pretty well and my first kickflip felt great after Sean’s first try kickflip too. I didn’t get going too quickly though, the bright sun after a cloudy morning was messing with me. I think part of it was the depression of skating so bad the last session that I was scared to try hard. I did some things that made me start to feel better though. Ollies onto the black box pretty easily, 180s up, crooks were working, kickflip flyouts were working. Will had some casual back tails then did back tail shove. Actually, two of them. Sean did his normal great black ledge destruction. His flatground seemed pretty good too. I went in on a line that I would mostly get. Crooks the black box, kickflip flyout, pivot on the bank to curb, noseslide to fakie the out ledge into the bank, halfcab noseslide. I had actually been trying this line for quite some time when everyone was there, but didn’t get it until they left. I had mixed in treflip flyout for a while and never got one, but they were close and I decided to not go overboard with it. Oh I had a new pair of 430s too, so that made things a little harder.

Before dinner I had some time and the rain had cleared up so I went and skated flatground on the side of the house. I was sore and didn’t expect much. I didn’t get much, but I hucked a lot and some were close.
