Another gorgeous fall evening. \u00a0Worked late, everyone else skated Broomfield early, had a nap and watched Leave It To Beaver with India. \u00a0Such an awesome show. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0Was driving to downtown, but saw campus on the way and went for it. \u00a0I skated around for awhile with Titus Andronicus on the mp3 player and found a new parking lot with all kinds of awesomeness. \u00a0I quickly picked a couple lines and tricks I wanted to do. \u00a0First one was kickflip up a curb, front180 down a narrow 3 then sw front 180 off the curb. \u00a0That came pretty quick. \u00a0Next up was an ollie off a narrow ledge over a sidewalk then ollie up the 3. \u00a0That one took awhile. \u00a0Getting the courage to push fast enough on the narrow ledge and actually go for the ollie was hard for me. \u00a0I was definitely a bit tired. \u00a0I eventually got it, followed it by a quick up the curb, ollie up the 3 then front 180 off the curb. \u00a0All pretty fun. \u00a0The last trick was to ollie onto a different narrow ledge and ollie a little gap. \u00a0The gap is basically only a three stair, but the narrow ledge setup was soooo hard for me. \u00a0I eventually took my headphones off because they kept falling off anyways. \u00a0But I couldn’t get the narrow ollie so I started trying it in a line. \u00a0Ollie over a curb to manual a sidwalk (not just up a curb, but over a curb that dropped down to a sidwalk), heelflip, narrow ledge ollie. \u00a0I eventually added halfcab flip to the start of the line and managed to get the whole line. \u00a0It came with the price of a cracked board on the narrow ollie. \u00a0After landing it I wanted to try it again and get a treflip after. \u00a0Halfcab flip sketchy, manny good, heelflip on point, ollie onto the ledge, hang up and who knows what happened but my kneecap started swelling up real quick. \u00a0I guess I hit it on the corner of the ledge or curb after the gap. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0The highlight was lying there in pain and the goth lesbian couple asking if I was ok. \u00a0I tried to walk it off back to the car, but as I write this the pain is pretty intense. \u00a0Ice, Ibuprofen and a bit of whiskey might help. \u00a0We’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
