Stopped at dog park after work. At no point did I have much energy or drive, but man it was nice out. Dave had said he was coming otherwise I would have bailed. Robbie was there ripping and fun to talk to. Only thing I did was 4 basic slide tricks on the blue ledge. Halfcab noseslide, nollie tail, nollie back tail, fakie front nose (which was terrible but I counted it). Dave switch manualled the grate, had some lines. Then we went over to Valmont and I watched Dave b/s flip the hip while a young BMXer busted tricks like back flips and 360 tail whips. It was really fun to watch.

On the way into work I stopped at Boulder park for a short session. I started on an 8.25 with Royal and it was laughable how incredibly bad it felt. So I swapped for my 8.5 with T2s. Did some whatever then settled in on what I hoped would be a quick warm up line. Grind the qp, carve a weird hump, kickflkp to fakie on the bank next to the hip. But I couldn’t kickflip. At all. I lost my mind and it was so depressing.

After a long day at work I met Dave in the crack riddled parking lot behind Safeway in Longmont. He brought his curb. I was skating a very old 8.3 that had Indys on it and was so sore. But we skated and it was fun. I did a few of the sprack to manuals, took a long time to kickflip the parking block. Dave switch spracked it, sw tail the bank. Then did a crazy long line starting with no comply flip and getting to slappy crooks which involved some helipops, shoves and kickflips. Dave did the slappy crooks which is so crazy. Then we put the curb up and did a few tricks. Well, Dave did a few tricks anyway. He was 2-2 on front hurricane. Always fun skating with Dave.

(setup 8.5 with T2s early then 8.3 with Indys later and both I hated and some Splays which were starting to get painful)
