Left shortly after 9am and got a whopping 37mpg on the way to CO Springs. \u00a0So awesome. \u00a0Yes, I’m obsessed by gas mileage these days. \u00a0The new park is huge. \u00a0Huge. \u00a0It took a good 15 minutes of skating around it to even start to take it all in. \u00a0The street course is huge. \u00a0There are 3 bowls. \u00a0There is a section of rocks\/curbs\/spines banks. \u00a0Basically the park has everything but a normal ledge. \u00a0Nate and I started out in the street\/”flow” area. \u00a0There is some crazy bank wallride things. \u00a0I seriously can’t even write about how much fun it is because things like wallriding up a 5 stair bank make no sense in words. \u00a0Riding down kinked banks, etc. \u00a0For awhile I had some good energy and was skating ok. \u00a0I ollied a hip, backside flipped a flat wall, then almost f\/s flipped the next one. \u00a0Nate and I got bluntslides over this seriously rad flat bank hip. \u00a0Later on I slammed over and over trying to noseslide the hip. \u00a0We all got together and skated a 1 foot tall spine that is a total blast. \u00a0Jake and I learned back feeble back 180 transfers. \u00a0I also got a front feeble front 180 transfer. \u00a0Sounds cool, but it was easy. \u00a0Then we skated the “legit” pool. \u00a0Carving it is fun, carving the tight corner is fun. \u00a0Lazer straight killed it. \u00a0Front slash the deep. \u00a0I carved the tile. \u00a0Whew!The rest of the session is kind of a blur until we skated two super tight qpipes like a halfpipe. \u00a0Lazer and Jake killed it. \u00a0I was just hyped to get rock fakies it was so tight. \u00a0I also got a fakie back smith stall to fakie.\u00a0Next up was Parker. \u00a0We were all tired, but a few grinds around the hard way of the 3 foot corner gets the feet going. \u00a0Nate and I skated the ledge for a long time. \u00a0I got most of my tricks and I tried to do them in order. \u00a0back boardslide, back noseslide, front 50, back crooks, front 50 180, front 50 shove, back crooks, front 5-0, front 5-0 180, front 5-0 shove, back 50 (had a lot of trouble with it) and finally front smith grind. \u00a0I tried a bunch of smith grinds which turned more and more 5-0 each time until I finally got bummed and went twice as fast and held it down. \u00a0Best smith grind I’ve ever done. \u00a0Before leaving Nate and I skated the Colorado flag q-pipe and little mini q-pipe for a long time. \u00a0I got a couple Rampy tricks before trying to do front 50 back 180 out, but I never landed that. \u00a0Super fun day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
