\"\"Had a totally awesome morning. \u00a0Watched PJ Ladd own it in SKATE, spent some quality time with India and even snuck in a nap. \u00a0In the late afternoon Carleigh showed up, we picked up Neil in Broomfield then hit downtown Denver. \u00a0Traffic was horrible and we ended up kinda on the far side of downtown on the outskirts of where we’ve skated before. \u00a0We tried to hit a manny pad initially, but an upset tenant wasn’t feeling it. \u00a0We dorked around at this narrow manny pad and two stair. \u00a0Well, Neil actually skated it, I posed at it (too narrow for me) and Carleigh tried some flippers on the sidewalk. \u00a0I was feeling rusty as I haven’t skated for real in awhile. \u00a0Next up we ended up at chain to ollie. \u00a0My first few chain ollies were horrible. \u00a0They felt so out of control and bad. \u00a0We all ollied it and then started working on more. \u00a0Carleigh and I tried kickflips, Neil pop shoves. \u00a0It took a bit, but the men got their moves. \u00a0Neil backed his up with a 100 foot long manny. \u00a0Sick. \u00a0Carleigh came real close to the kickflip. \u00a0I did it a couple times, but the first one was super slow and sketchy. \u00a0Second one felt great, but I didn’t have anything on that manny pad. \u00a0My new trucks felt weird. \u00a0Neil put down some sick no complies over it too while I got some weak 180s both ways. \u00a0We left to the weird round brick plaza area. \u00a0At first Neil and I ollied in the f\/s one which I haven’t done before. \u00a0It’s a little ledge drop into a little bank. \u00a0Then we turned around and ollied onto the ledge. \u00a0I got one with ollie up then ollie into the b\/s bank. \u00a0That felt awesome. \u00a0Carleigh ollied in both b\/s and f\/s. \u00a0Neil was trying to ollie out of the bank over the tall ledge. \u00a0I started trying to ollie over the f\/s ledge into the bank. \u00a0Neil saw it and got it first try and eventually backed it up with a four wheel bonk over the tall ledge which was so sick. \u00a0I also got the ollie over the ledge into the bank. \u00a0Hyped on that.A quick kick out of the Wells Fargo C ledge we ended up at a parking garage with crappy gritty concrete that somehow ended up being a blast. \u00a0I got a couple lines that I was very hyped on. \u00a0Ollie a curb cut, kickflip up a curb, nose slide a brick planter off a stair. \u00a0Which was hard because it was sooooo sticky. \u00a0Also got a kickflip over a curb, 360 flip on flat, manual then front 180 down the 2 stair that came up real quick. \u00a0So fun! \u00a0Carleigh put down a bunch of kickflips and tried to manual the long pad. \u00a0Neil did some good nose manuals and got a good run of pop shove over a curb, 360 no comply (backside), nose manual, one foot off the two stair. \u00a0We checked out this kinda bank to ledge and rail spot, but Carleigh and Neil left to get some drink while I tried to ollie a little retainer wall. \u00a0When I finally got it I almost backed it up with a front nose to fakie on the bank to ledge. \u00a0On the way to meet Neil and Carleigh at Wahoos I hit this little manny pad then ollie over a curb to drop onto a super mellow bank. \u00a0That took more tries then it should.Those guys ate and we all stocked up on water for the last few minutes of daylight. \u00a0We hit this weird mellow hip that was soooo hard to skate. \u00a0It was almost too small to skate it as a hip, but it was good for it. \u00a0Neil sat it out. \u00a0Carleigh did some good f\/s ollies then spent a long time on kickflips. \u00a0She eventually landed a good one with a rad surfy ride out. \u00a0I had given up on ollieing big out of the hip and was trying flippers over it. \u00a0I came close to b\/s flips, but never got a good one. \u00a0I hucked f\/s flips for awhile and never came close. \u00a0Then I tried a f\/s halfcab flip over the hip and was surprised to get it in three tries. \u00a0After that I started trying 3 flips and after Carleigh put down a pop shove I got her back with the tre bomb. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0It felt great though. \u00a0That was basically the end of the day. \u00a0Such a great session.I shot the photo above after we were done and got back to the car. \u00a0Gotta at least try and shoot a photo everyday or I’m never gonna learn this stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
