Had some time in the morning back in Boulder to skate. Went to dog park and Jack, Jesse and Eric were skating. I felt pretty odd out of the gates, my shoe had a hole in it which didn’t help because I couldn’t really do kickflips. There was yet another new flat bar, but it was tiny so it’s kinda fun. I skated pretty mid and mostly did dork tricks. Tried some heelflip variations because of my shoes, but didn’t land any. Was over the Aces and the heft required to maneuver them. My attempt at switch front board makes me laugh seeing it in Jack’s video and my back wheels never even left the ground. Jack ripped. The crooks tail grab is funny, but awesome. He’s always learning. Eric with the speedy lipslide, manuals, heelflip or two. Jesse always popping high and laughing. Glad to get in a little session and see the dudes.

Another nice day up in BV. I had no desire to skate the park again, but I had time to skate. So I went to look at the high school I had never seen before. To my surprise there was a decent tall ledge and then a couple drops. The ledge had a couple of forensics on it, but didn’t really look skated. Was able to get into noseslides pretty quickly. Thought that might be my end game, but crooks came in a few tries too. What a great view. Then I had fun messing around with the silly line. Half cab flip, board stall transfer up, ride on back 50. I’m sure it doesn’t look like much, but I really love skating new spots and finding ways to line things out. Then I went to a more visible area that had teachers walking by. They didn’t seem to mind me. I took a while to ride off the first ledge because of a weird expansion crack. Got front 180 off then went for front shove. Front shove took a while and I was about to give up, but I ended up getting one. And it was fun and a great way to end the session.

Brought my mom up to see friends in BV. So after a long and frustrating drive, a huge hamburger and more sight seeing I had some time to kill. Skated almost an hour. The park had snow in spots and puddles/runoff throughout the main area. It was hard to get in a groove. There was another “older” (20 years younger than me yikes I’m old) who was pretty cool other than he seemed to copy whatever I tried. I took a while before I even really did anything. When I was done I had done a few things at least though. Wallie up the ledge. Blunt to back disaster the tiny qp. Kickflip on the mellower bank since the main one had water running down it. Axle stall the tight little steep qp. That might be it. When school got out the bikes appeared. I do not miss this skatepark in any way.
