As it warmed up and the snow melted I drove to Longmont to meet Dave and Rob at Indian Peaks. There was no snow in Longmont so it was totally dry. Rob cruised on his bike, but it was great seeing him and catching up. We started in the front area. I never really seemed to get going or land anything. A field trip contributed to the lack of focus. I don’t think I landed a single flip trick other than kickflip. Had some slappies and 50s. Dave had some tech like sw crooks, fakie crooks, back tail. I posed some flip ins. We were asked to leave at one point and on the way out I tried to kickflip up the curb and my board hit my knee soooo hard. Threw a fit in front of the kids. Brilliant. We went to the side of the school which ended up being quite fun. Dave had some crooks on the ledge, front 50 easy, kickflip out of and into the mini bump. I had some fun feeling shoves into the bump, one of which I followed with a front 50. Also had a couple slow b/s flips into the bump and switch noseslides after. Fav moment of the day was doing a line of halfcab flip into the bump, slow front 50, slow b/s flip on flat. Then we went to the bank. I managed shove to fakie, b/s kickflip and kickflip to fakie before I was too sore to continue skating. Dave did a sick line of front 3 followed by switch front 3. All in all a fun day.
