This was one of them.  We were headed to the Springs with no real plans of where to skate although I had thought of two tricks I wanted down there.  The gap to noseslide and the noseslide 270 shove in a line.  Sean, Kevin and I went right to Manitou, but the shop was closed.  So we ended up at the high school with the perfect long ledge, good flat and it&#8217;s the spot with the gap to noseslide I wanted to do.  So the pressure mounted quickly and I just felt kind of weird.  Sean and Kevin were getting it quickly with noseslides, crooks (Kevin), 50s.  There was a weird wood object that worked perfectly as a wallride initially, then we rotated it for wallies.  I didn&#8217;t have much success with flippers, but did noseslide, noseslide fakie and maybe a crooks jib on the ledge pretty quick along with some fun frontside bank rides.  I couldn&#8217;t ollie up onto the ledge, but I did pose a few gap to noseslides which didn&#8217;t feel quite as possible as before.  Sean&#8217;s back 5-0 was so good.  We probably would have skated there a really long time, but Jake came and brought security with him.  Ha, not really, but we did get kicked out right when Jake showed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we drove halfway back home to meet Jack, Joe, Bo and Hayden at a school in the north part of the Springs.  Jake was so bummed when we pulled in and it was a rail spot.  I felt bad.  So rather than go check out the rail Jake and I went to look at something we could skate.  And we found a fun little loading dock area.  I mean it&#8217;s not a destination spot, but it would offer some fun for the time being.  Hayden, Sean and Bo would join us.  It&#8217;s funny looking at a spot initially and then what happens after a few minutes of skating it.  At first we just did tail drop springs off the loading dock into the &#8220;bank&#8221; (which was really almost flat).  Hayden, Bo and Sean had some ollies up to manual that looked hard.  I had a nose stall to fakie that was kinda fun.  Sean and Hayden did the quick boardslide drops.  We setup a wallride.  Man Hayden had some super smooth wallrides.  Jake and I ended up doing some fun lines.  Mine is above.  Just riding off that loading dock with speed was hard because of a crack, but it was fun.  The wallie took me a few tries.  Jake would go on to do it with a 180 wallie was was pretty sick.  Then we went and watched the hammer fest on the rail which unfortunately ended with Jack hurting himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then we went to Broadmoor ditch.  That thing sucks.  Ha.  I tried nollie bigspins for a bit, then gave up and filmed.  Joe would also get frustrated by not landing tricks.  I don&#8217;t think Sean actually landed anything either even though he was close to a banger.  Hayden quickly did halfcab, cab then battled beyond a cab for the sickness.  Kevin would battle nollie flips to fakie forever followed by switch front 3.  He was so close to giving up, but luckily he didn&#8217;t because he ended up doing it oh so good.  Bo did a ride on front 5-0 then battled kickflip out for awhile.  And he was really really close!  Then we had dinner.  I got home late and sad about how terribly I skated, but had fun with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 8.25 null spanbauer deck, jessup ultragrip, venture 5.6 cast baseplate v-hollow hanger, bones medium little bushing ace big bushing, spitfire f4 52mm tablet shape 99a, new balance numeric 212 cake size 12 with footprint mid elite insoles)<br>(pain level 4\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some Saturdays I wake up feeling some weird pressure about skating.
