Met up with Cass at the 112th Thornton park. It was cloudy and raining in Boulder when I left, but sunny and nice in Thornton. I arrived as Cass was trying to front noseslide over the manual pad. After that we did some crooks on the ledge. Well, I did. Ha. Mine were looks jibs compared to Cass’ attempts though. I would do a line of crooks then kickflip to fakie on a bank there. Also a front axle on the bank to curb. Am I really to a point where I list that as a trick? Geez.

Then we went to this nearby ditch/ledge spot which was way different than I imagined. I didn’t skate very well. Couldn’t halfcab flip on flat or commit to front 50 on the downhill ledge, or crooks the main ledge. Cass on the other hand, did crooks shove before we had even thought of filming. He got close, but couldn’t do it again once we tried to film though. He also got front nose shove. I would do the sw front nose then sw 180, switch nose 270 shove. Tried a million noseslides to manual and actually got one somehow. I was pretty hyped even if it wasn’t done very well.
