After a long day at work, dinner and a nap I picked up Jake and Nate and we cruised to Longmont to meet John. \u00a0He was at the checkerboard manny pad so we me him there. \u00a0John was doing nose manny 180s into the bank when we arrived. \u00a0Nate quickly manny and nose mannied it as well as manual front 180 out to straight leg landing. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0Jake went to work on some lines. \u00a0Front 180 up, frontside halfcab off. \u00a0Front 180 up, sw front 180 off. \u00a0Ollie up, nollie off. John tried nose manny slappy tail back to nose manny and got kinda close. \u00a0I never got a clean manny or nose manny. \u00a0The only thing I did I was hyped on was getting close to a front bluntslide on the parking block. \u00a0We left after some dude at a nearby apartment went on a rampage swearing at us asking us if we could read the no skateboarding signs. \u00a0Oh well.We went to the park which was more crowded than I thought it would be considering it was pretty chilly. \u00a0The four of us started off with a game of SKATE. \u00a0I haven’t skated flatground in awhile, but luckily it didn’t show as bad as I would have thought. \u00a0The elders (John and I) made quick work of the young ones (Ha). \u00a0The tricks were decent. \u00a03 flip, fakie flip, heelflip, sw flip, b\/s flip, halfcab flip, fakie bigflip and more. \u00a0John beat me in the end with the b\/s flip.For awhile everyone was kinda doing their own thing. \u00a0I wasn’t skating well, but was at least skating harder than I’ve been able to lately. \u00a0I noseslid the bank to tall ledge, b\/s flip on the flat bank, kickflip fakie on the bank. \u00a0After awhile a ledge session ensued. \u00a0John has such a cool bag of old guy meets young guy tricks. \u00a0Slappy sw noseslides shoves out. \u00a0Stuff like that which is awesome. \u00a0Jake did a bunch of back 50s and put down some crooks and front 5-0 front 180 out. \u00a0I got some slasher grinds (smith attempts not dipped enough), back 50s, back 5-0, halfcab noseslide, crooks and a lot of tries on front 5-0 shove out. \u00a0Nate was trying to back lip the whole darn ledge. \u00a0So sick. \u00a0he almost got it.Next up a hip ollie session went down. \u00a0John won that one. \u00a0Nate came in second and I clearly took last. \u00a0I love how I’ve been skating 20 years or something and can’t ollie over a hip and get more than a foot of air. \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0At the end of the session Nate and John ollied up and down the step up, I ollied the step up and I did 3\/4 360flips before the light shut off. \u00a0I landed the last one as the lights shut off. \u00a0Felt cool and a fun way to end a fun session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
