skate journal: superior ledge spot for hours (nov 23, 2025)

Posted in Skate Journal on November 24th, 2025 by corpo

On a nice morning I got out before others and went to the destination – the newish superior ledge spot. I had it to myself for quite some time. Now that does not mean I landed much. I did try hard though. Like pretty hard and kept just not landing stuff. I had started with some sw noseslides. Went in on front 50s on the lower curved part and only got one really bad one. Had some fun lines of front 180 the little gap, sw noseslide, sw noseslide to forward, bail a treflip. I started trying front noseslides to fakie to start a line and would get a dream line twice, front nose to fakie, sw noseslide to forward, treflip. But when Kyle went to film it, nope, I could not get the darn treflip. I was so close so many times, but could not get it. Argh. Garrett had started doing some good crooks and back tails. I had to give up on my line because I felt so bad wasting everyones time. It worked out, Garrett got a banger b/s flip out and even more. Good work Garrett! I was defeated I couldn’t film that line, but I did get it twice for myself so that felt good at least.

skate journal: fun mellow bank session with dave (nov 22, 2025)

On a sunny nice day I met Dave around noon at the old mellow bank spot in Niwot. I was there slightly before and was just warming up trying some manuals and stuff. Dave would show and beat me to the nollie bonk manual. I had kind of a fun manual to back 180 pivot in. Dave did f/s halfcab into the bank. I did a kickflip or two on the bank. Then we did flippers into it. I had a couple fakie bigflips that were garbage, but would get a b/s flip which felt pretty awesome. Dave hammered out a f/s halfcab flip. Yes, we’re saving some of these clips for Stubborns 2. Then we put a beam on the bank. I treated like a bank to curb for a while and did a few basics, also a halfcab flip on the bank. Dave did a crazy back 5-0 halfcab out then nosegrind 180. I did 180 sw crook stall shove out. Dave back 180 pivot to rock was awesome, but not as amazing as the back 180 sw crook transfer. I got his back with a no comply to tail. We ended on a Dave kickflip into the bank and attempted to hit another spot, but there was cars everywhere.
