After a nice day of chilling with the family and eating Thanksgiving leftovers for breakfast Jake and I rolled to Longmont to meet Dave and Rob at Rocky Mountain Elem. It’s one of those good winter sun spots. Dave and I talked about our rough starts. I figured after a long walk and an earlier work out I would be feeling good. Nope. I think I was 1-5 on kickflips to start. Yikes! Someone has been giving the curbs there some love and they were extra fun. Nollie front lips were had by all, what a fun trick. Jake pretty much stuck to the curb. Good slappies, slappy crooks, his first ever nollie back lips and a second try pop shove lip. Rob had a banger line going. High speed ollie up the curb to beautiful no comply, back 180 up the curb switch boardslide. Had I brought the camera I would have requested to film it. We all tried regular front lipslides too, Rob being the first to land one. I think he got the shove in variation too. Dave was the second to get a front lip. He was charging some high speed ollies up the curbs to tricks on the medians like front 180 nose manual, kickflip onto one, a crazy pop shove with a sideways land that he survived. He almost got a sex change on the bank. Boardslides to fakie, some flippers and ended the session with a front 50 on the ledge second try that was way better than any of the ones I did. I pretty much tried two lines the whole time. Flip trick, front 50 the ledge, lipslide the curb, flip trick. Backside kickflip low on a bank then crooks shove the ledge. I would get quite a few kickflips on the bank with varying degree of cleanliness. A few crooks shove felt really good and close, but I never got my feet on one. The ledge is growing. And it’s not just because I’m getting older. It’s actually lifting for some reason. Anyway flip tricks were a struggle to start lines, but I did get a few halfcab flips. 1\/10 on heelflips ugh. Got a halfcab 90 heel, one incredibly slow treflip. I think I only got a couple front 50s, they were so hard for me. I would get the lipslide at the end, but went to fakie. Oh well it was fun sliding some. That spot is hard. I was skating with some good motivation, but I was pretty disappointed in how badly I actually skated. At least the crew was a good one and the sun was nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
