We started at Galileo which was just as not fun as I remembered.&nbsp; Damon rattled off like 20 flippers on the bank and some basic&nbsp;grinds on the steeper steps.&nbsp; Neil got a couple front lips across the smaller set.&nbsp; Joe wanted a lip to 50, but couldn&#8217;t get it.&nbsp; I battled kickflips and would eventually get a backside one followed by one to fakie.&nbsp; Neil went to film it as lightning surrounded us and I ran into him on a roll out.&nbsp; It was funny.&nbsp; Then it rained.&nbsp; We went to a skatepark, but it was wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually we ended up at a spot recommended by Ryan that was pretty fun.&nbsp; It was mostly just curbs and a few small stairs.&nbsp; We all rolled around for a while figuring things out and skating it differently.&nbsp; Neil hopped up and down everything, boardslides, wallies, 50s.&nbsp; Damon didn&#8217;t skate it too much, but did talk to some lady who said &#8220;there is no way that kid is 50&#8221; in reference to me.&nbsp; I proceeded to slam super hard on a no comply flip attempt.&nbsp; I would get a few of them and even filmed a couple with a fun ride on grind after.&nbsp; In the process Rob had ollied over the little curb.&nbsp; After filming I took 6 tries to get a sketchy ollie over it.&nbsp; Yikes.&nbsp; I had a fun run of switch 180 up a 2 stair then front 180 down a 3.&nbsp; Rob got a cool line back 180 up the 2, slappy crook, bean plant the 3.&nbsp; Joe had a halfcab&nbsp;boardslide one of the curbs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last spot of the day was the DIY.&nbsp; It had degraded some since last time Jake and I were there.&nbsp; I had gotten very tired and sore and besides a hurricane and some slashes on the little parking block qp didn&#8217;t do much.&nbsp; Damon slayed it.&nbsp; Skated the tall ledge like it was a normal ledge and did b\/s flip, cab, treflip and ghetto bird over the lumpy hump.&nbsp; Joe had some great boardslides, front 50 front boards and a boneless over the hip that may or may not have resembled Grant Taylor.&nbsp; Rob made the smart choice of chilling with a beer then cruising.&nbsp; Neil was charging.&nbsp; Halfcab&#8217;s&nbsp;over a little flat bar, front 50 a weird banked spine, front pivot the parking block qp, hip ollies, noseslides, boardslides.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weird, but fun day.&nbsp; Then we went to a nearby restaurant that didn&#8217;t serve us in a timely manner so we bounced and had a better meal nearby.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(setup 4\/10 8.5 null, jessup ultragrip, royal ultralight 149s, bones 51mm pj stf v1, new balance numeric 272 green\/black size 12 half insoles)<br>(pain level 5\/10)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Off to Colorado Springs with Rob, Neil, Joe, Damon.&nbsp;
