Mikey and I rolled to CO Springs on a nice, but windy morning in Boulder.  Get to the Springs and it’s windy there too, but cold as well.  I’ve come to realize it’s never nice when I go there.  We played a game of SKATE to get warmed up that went on a long time and put me on my ass a few times.  Ouch.  I still can’t land nollie tres anymore, but got treflip pretty quick.  Skating the park was weird at first.  I was sucking. I even fell rolling into a flat bank at one point.  Ugh.  I almost just wanted to leave there, but we kept going and eventually I had fun.  We skated the weird pyramid thing and Mikey and I started our ‘back to back’ trend for the day.  I learned a bluntslide to fakie transfer and he backed me up with a nollie backside flip over the hip.  Next up I backside flipped on a flat bank and he switch 180’d the stairs (steezey as it gets).  Lastly Mikey nollie shove manualled the downhill manny pad and I manualled it (which was scary to me).  I took a break for awhile then we ended up at the backyard pool bowl and Mikey killed the ollies to fakie up by the light.  I did some lame carves.  Then we played a couple more games of SKATE in the rain/wind and split out as the temperature dropped 20 more degrees.

Nate and I figured we should play some SKATE since we were gonna do the SKATE game on Saturday.  In almost an hours time we only played two games and probably spent 20 minutes trying varial heels.  Both of us got close, neither of us rode away.  The tricks I had a lot more trouble with than I should have were fakie flip, fakie big flip and nollie treflip.  One surprise for me was a fakie treflip second try.  Nate has some bangers like nollie big heel, switch var heel ,etc.  I need to skate flatground more, it’s fun.  Especially now that my feet don’t hurt as bad since I don’t wear tiny vulc shoes anymore.

I plan on entering the game of SKATE. What’s the chances I get pink slipped in the first round? 100 percent.Both these contests have Null goods as prizes. Can you think of any possible reason greater than that to enter? Me neither.

Pretty solid.

Really tired and run down, but felt like I should go do some flippers so I don’t get pink slipped in round one of SKATE on Saturday.  If I skate like it did just now I will hopefully be the laughing stock of the entire world.  The only remotely decent thing was landing on 360 flips as I still haven’t really done that trick much since hurting my foot in March.

Went to Game 1 of the Nuggets – Mavericks with my parents and Ollie.Ollie was super excited for the game.  He’s a total 7 year old boy these days amd man it’s fun.Rocky the Nuggets mascot got pulled by huge cords to have enough speed to dunk it from the ramp ..Blurry photo of Rocky mid- air dunk.  Bringing your boy to the game is beyond awesome.The Birdman killed Game 1.  This was taken during the timeout in the 4th quarter after the Nuggets fast break that resulted in Melo dunking it.  The place went berzerk.  Best game I’ve ever seen.

Minus the stupid way over done logo at the start this looks radical.

New shoes.  Can’t deal with having the Herman’s that are too small for me.After one of the funnest days ever going to the Nuggets game with Ollie and my parents I had to go to Longmont to pickup the phone from work.  I went around 8 and picked up Nate on the way.  It was raining/wet/sprinkling all the way to the park which had some puddles, but was mostly dry.  And no one was there!  We started out on the mellow bank as it was the driest and ended up staying there for awhile doing flip tricks.  Nate threw done a lot of tech ones.  I was happy with a few first try tricks like fakie varial flip, halfcab flip and maybe another one.  Tricks that I was hyped on were a fakie treflip and a first time fakie bigspin flip. Now if only I could do these on steep walls.Then we kinda skated some other stuff.  Some ollies over the hips and whatnot.  The main ledge was wet so we didn’t skate that.  At the end we tried to 50 the long C ledge.  Nate got close.  Then we started a game of SKATE that ended early due to the lights shuttig off.  I got a treflip first try.  Sweet!
