After kind of helping Brian move his motorcycle engine I went to the Longmont park to help out with the contest. \u00a0I didn’t have to do much and kinda dorked around for awhile. \u00a0Did some no comply 270s on a curb and some front nosestalls on the curved ledge. \u00a0Then it started raining.After a huge meal we went out to the school we all love. \u00a0Well, most of us love anyways. \u00a0John, Jason, Fuzz and I skated. \u00a0Brian and Neil did not. \u00a0We started out with a session on the bank to brick just kinda doing various stalls. \u00a0Fuzz did a ton of good ones easily like front pivot to fakie, front tail fakie, blunt pivot, etc. \u00a0John landed his signature move – the front shove front nose. \u00a0Jason had a bunch of front tails. \u00a0I had a couple tricks like front smith stall to fakie and a front tail back shove out that I struggled with for awhile. \u00a0Next we skated the ledge for a long time. \u00a0And by a long time it probably felt like forever to Brian who needed to go feed some dogs and Neil who had to get back to his couch. \u00a0Lots of tricks went down. \u00a0Jason had back 50s and front 50s ever try. \u00a0He also got noseslides both ways and was close to back 180 nosegrinds and put down a textbook front smith. \u00a0John wasn’t feeling the ledge so much, but skated. \u00a0The only trick I had without much work was back crooks. \u00a0I kept going over the ledge on frontside grinds and I totally suck now at back 50s. \u00a0I ended up getting a back 50 after some work and a front smith-0. \u00a0I call it that because it felt like a front smith to me and people called it a smith, but it wasn’t quite dipped enough to be a Carrol smith or anything. \u00a0I came close to some other tricks. \u00a0Really close to front 5-0 shove. \u00a0Fuzz can skate a ledge. \u00a0So many tricks. \u00a0Front 5-0 180 out, front salad, back 50, front 180 nosegrind forward, fakie front tail, etc, etc. \u00a0He has never done a crooks pop out before and landed a few of them. \u00a0At the end of the session Fuzz and I were trying back noseslides to fakie followed with f\/s halfcab flips off the curb. \u00a0We battled til dark when Fuzz gave up and I landed a really bad tic tac’d one.Feeling totally done I brought everyone to their motorcycles at the Longmont park. \u00a0John, Fuzz and I ended up skating it. \u00a0We said we’d cruise around and see how it felt. \u00a0An hour and a half later we left. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0We had a blast. \u00a0Highlights for Fuzz were front 50 the ledge on top of the euro, front blunt fakie on the side of the step up, front d on the 7′ quarter, boardslide the flyout ledge, and a ton more I don’t remember. \u00a0I had a front d fakie on the side of the stepup, cali grind manual above the stepup, the funniest and worst noseslide ever on the flyout ledge, cali grind down the stepup, probably nothing else. \u00a0John kills that park and started with halfcab front blunt fakies over the hip, front 50 the ledge near the stepup, \u00a0ollie into the euro, so much more. \u00a0We ended with a game of SKATE amongst kids that were doing tricks like switch inward heel bigspins. \u00a0We shut it down. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0It was not the best game of SKATE. \u00a0Fuzz was struggling getting off the ground, I was slower than normal, John hit his shins. \u00a0I was the first out. \u00a0I don’t know what won it, but we had fun and wow what a long night of skating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
