On a somewhat warm afternoon I went to meet Will. Ted was there too, we started at the skatepark. For a while it was just us, no toddlers. I didn’t do much. Ted almost had some amazing Muska flips. Will had some lofty ollies. I tried some ollies on the steeper bank, got a noseslide and crook on the PJ ledge. Then after a while families and kids quickly filled in the park. Literally parents standing in the middle of the skatepark while their toddlers laid down on a skateboard in the middle of everyone.

We went to the ledges. I had a back 50 easy on the curb then went for 5-0 and survived a scary one. I started off alright, had some good feeling 50s on the lurb. But once it got to flip tricks and higher ledges, not so good. Took a while to get a fakie flip and followed it with halfcab noseslide. Will did switch manual, close to switch nose manual. Did halfcab manual. All while I failed at front 50s on the lurb and got so bummed. We tried some dream tricks for a while. He did a bunch of switch 50s and felt out switch nosegrind. I tried halfcab crooks. Initially was close, got less close. Was about to leave, but then Dave showed. So we skated some more. I didn’t do much, but had some crooks on the tall wood ledge. Saw Dave switch manual the grate, some kickflips, popped up onto the lurb. Then we chatted in the cold and Will and I left.

Went to Broomfield around 7. The park had a lot of snow and ice around, making the lines way less fun. There were some 20 somethings there charging so hard. I avoided them and stayed up top on the bank to curb area. I think I did an ultra crap warm up line of f/s nollie on the hump, rock to feeble on the bank to curb, ultra crap kickflip out of the slightest bank. Hit the ledges. Will and I skated the angled pad which I haven’t in forever. I got a front shove to fakie on it after almost dying on a bail. Will almost had switch ollie up then switch flip. I was not close to kickflip fakie. I couldn’t crook the black ledge which was mind blowing. My frozen bushings would not pinch at all. Took forever to front 50 the happy ledge and could not believe it. Almost left without saying goodbye I was so depressed and didn’t skate for two days.
