\"\"Had the day off work and was planning on hitting a couple shops in Denver. \u00a0Nate wanted to join so we headed out early to Parker. \u00a0There was some snow, but most of the park was skateable. \u00a0We started in the bowl section which wasn’t as well off, but there was a path from the roll in over the pyramid into the big steep flat bank and back. \u00a0We both wanted to grind the top of the flat bank, but couldn’t get our back trucks up there. \u00a0Instead we both settled with lines of backside tough guy (or in our case it was more like backside wuss guy) then roll ins into the tranny of the pyramid. \u00a0Pretty fun.After that it was mostly ledges for the next couple of hours. \u00a0My new shoes were feeling really good. \u00a0It’s funny how much I like these DC shoes. \u00a0The Crew seriously rule. \u00a0My calf had been hurting pretty bad from the night before, but the pain seemed to be going away with every push rather than getting worse. \u00a0Anyways really early on Nate slammed hard trying to do a front nosegrind pop out. \u00a0We both were kinda doing our own little lines. \u00a0I know we both did front 50s on the Pier 7 way-to-tall-to-be-a-real replica, Nate was doing front Ds on the little q-pipe, I was ollieing into the tranny (well, the end of the tranny anyway), etc. \u00a0Ledge tricks were going ok. \u00a0I got lots of crooks, a crooks to fakie, didn’t get crooks shove, back 50, bad back 50 \u00a0back 180, front 5-o, front 50 front 180 and of course a super sick 2 foot long boardslide that started it. \u00a0Nate had quite of course. \u00a0Back 5-0, back nosegrind and ended up getting a few back 5-0 front shove’s out. \u00a0SICK! \u00a0At one point we both did a super fun line of ollie from the bank up onto the 2 block then ollie the 2 block. \u00a0That was my highlight of the session. \u00a0Nate was giving me crap for not getting front D’s on the qpipe so I forced myself to do them. \u00a0But I didn’t just do the same ol’ boring disaster, I thought it would be cool to add tic tacs to everyone of them. \u00a0Fun. \u00a0I was trying a back 50 then ollie a snowpile that was right away in the landing, but ended up totally slamming and thinking I sprained my wrist really bad. \u00a0It ended up being ok. \u00a0Took some of the wind out of me for sure. \u00a0Towards the end of the session Nate and I were basically each trying our own thing. \u00a0He was doing lipslides from the bank onto the 2 block. \u00a0I was trying to ollie up the first ledge, front 50 the second then pop down into lipslide on the lower ledge. \u00a0I came really close. \u00a0Close enough that Nate thought I landed it. \u00a0So if we use his opinion where he looked away right before I fell off, I landed it. \u00a0Ha.At the very end we skated the kids mini bowl. \u00a0Nate was worked up to some really good frontside ollies over the hip. \u00a0I did some really bad front ollies and got a couple back 50s around the hip the hard way. \u00a0Fun! \u00a0Nate was just dorking after an ollie and did a super easy fakie front 5-0 to fakie. \u00a0He lands new tricks just like that. \u00a0I wanted front 5-0 270 in, but ended up just going with front tail 180 which I’ve never done before. \u00a0We left for Continuum feeling completely exhausted and cold.About an hour later we arrived at the Aurora park which had way more snow. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0We ended up skating a tiny mellow q-pipe for about an hour and it ruled. \u00a0We both did a few of our not-so-basics quickly and starting trying new stuff. \u00a0For some reason I chose front feebles and I battled it for quite a long time, but eventually put a couple mediocre ones down before doing a legit one with a grind. \u00a0So hyped. \u00a0Nate started trying frontside nosegrind pop outs. \u00a0Whoa. \u00a0He would also eventually get a couple. \u00a0Such a ridiculous trick. \u00a0I had moved on to kick back pivot attempts (never done this on real tranny before) when someone else joined us and did it first try. \u00a0Both Nate and I were cracking up like WTF? \u00a0It ended up being really funny and the dude was really nice saying he didn’t see me try it before that. \u00a0Either that or I was so far away that it didn’t resemble it. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0I kept trying it though and ended up getting a kickflip to back smith lunch break. \u00a0Rad. \u00a0Then me and the guy that totally showed me up (who ended up being a super nice guy) tried kick back tails for awhile. \u00a0We both got kinda close, but no where near a make. \u00a0Before leaving I wanted another front feebs and did my best one yet second try. \u00a0Absolutely perfect way to end a great day of skating. \u00a0Then it was off to 303 then race home to bring India to 4H club. \u00a0Yippee!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
