It was cloudy and looked like rain in Boulder, but sunny and warm in south Denver where I met Cass and Jake at Thomas Jefferson. It would be a fun session. Jake kinda killed it stacking lots of tricks. Crooks, crooks shove, front 50, front tail, nollie front tail, nollie back tail, halfcab noseslide, fakie back tail, fakie front crook. I’m probably missing something. Cass had some really good crooks early on, 50s, couldn’t get kickflip 50, such good front noseslides, front nose shove. Also showed me up with a front shove out of a kicker first try in a warm up line. I really struggled with pop. Got a front 50 right away, then could not do it again. Had a lot of crooks, noseslides, nollie front tails. The kickflip off took a while, but man it felt good. And it felt good taking the slams and my foot not complaining too much.
