After a nice nap, dinner and tossing a football around with Ollie, Jason and I headed downtown to skate. \u00a0We started at some weird alley spot when Little Jack rolled by and eventually joined us after playing cool guy and cruising right by us. \u00a0Not much happened here and we ended up at Wells Fargo where we skated the dinky quarterpipe for awhile. \u00a0Jack did some cool ollies in weird spots as well as a bunch of rad pivot shove tricks. \u00a0Jason ollied to front d around a corner. \u00a0I bailed pivots to fakie and tried fakie feeble and turn all the way around to land it.Jack took off for home and Jason and I went over to the white ledge feeling somewhat warmed up. \u00a0After trying some dumb quick ollies we hit the ledge where I failed miserably. \u00a0Jason got some good grinds and noseslides. \u00a0We started hitting it after the kicker and Jason as usual put down some good ollies and backed them up with long back 50s. \u00a0I was unable to snap my ollies and felt bummed on it. \u00a0I managed a back 50 eventually then another line with crooks and almost a fast treflip. \u00a0I’m finally moving more than 2mph on my treflip attempts.We left of the ‘pop out’ ledge by University Bicycles. \u00a0I finally got in the groove here. \u00a0Got a real good line for me. \u00a0Fakie flip, sw front 180 up the curb, horrible front board pop out, a i-hope-there-are-no-cars-coming kickflip off the curb, then a back 180 up the curb. \u00a0I had trouble getting the kickflip up the curb, but back boardslides were going down ok. \u00a0I tried another run with treflip, ollie up the curb, front board popout. \u00a0I landed a treflip at one point, looked up and almost ran straight into a biker going the wrong way on the bike path. \u00a0Awesome. \u00a0I thought that would be the only treflip I landed, but I ended up getting quite a few more. \u00a0They felt great and I was skating faster than normal. \u00a0Jason got a super long front board pop out to high 5 from me and we headed out.On the way back to the car I had a blast. \u00a0Got a long manual around a sidewalk corner and was going pretty fast so I didn’t push before getting a back 180 up the next curb. \u00a0We hit the new Walnut ledge on the way out and did a couple basics. \u00a0The brick section was fun and we ollied the 3 stair. \u00a0I got lucky and mannied up the RTD median and ended with a super fun ollie quick ollie over a couple manholes by the car. \u00a0Man I wish I didn’t take so long to warm up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
