journal: Colorado Springs Null awesomeness, sympathy cheers and a handrail session (Nov 21, 2010)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>An early mission had been planned to the Springs for a couple days. \u00a0Leave at 10, hit up Proper to sling some Null, then go skate street\/film, then skate the park at dark. \u00a0We left a bit later then expected, but Greg made up for it by making us all laugh. \u00a0He bought a Null board. \u00a0The &#8216;Nothing Beats A Null&#8217; deck. \u00a0He started laughing like crazy saying it was funny. \u00a0We were all so confused. \u00a0He&#8217;s telling us to say it out loud and laughing so hard. \u00a0Nothing beats a null. \u00a0Nothing beats anal. \u00a0Oh man. \u00a0We couldn&#8217;t believe no one thought of that before. \u00a0Too bad we&#8217;re almost out of that graphic. \u00a0After a fun filled car ride to the Springs we stopped by Proper, met up with Bernie and Sam and went to the school with the bank with stairs coming out of it. \u00a0Such an epic spot and a great way to start the day. \u00a0Oh yeah, the crew in my car was Derek, Jack, Max, Greg and of course, me. \u00a0 Sam and I were feeling pretty old. \u00a0maybe it&#8217;s the cold weather, but we really couldn&#8217;t get it going. \u00a0I took a long time to get back 50 and front 50 across the mellow stair. \u00a0Sam was getting front lip everytime. \u00a0Jack front noseblunted the steeper one, Max ollied the whole set of stairs, Jack slammed on front 180 switch crooks, Bernie bailed front tail flip outs, Greg almost did some crazy boneless plant variations off the fence, Derek did some funny kickflip back 50s and almost got back noseblunt. \u00a0I also got back 5-o over the stair and then tried front lip forever. \u00a0The angle kinda sucked and Max tried it, bailed, and said it sucked too so at least I felt better. \u00a0I eventually landed it and everyone cheered. \u00a0You know, cheers for the old guy that took forever to land a warm up trick. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0As we left Bernie did a first try kickflip front lip across the mellow stair. \u00a0So sick!We left and went downtown. \u00a0Filmed Jack do a sick gap out to 50 before going to this insanely fun fountain spot. \u00a0Although it was kinda torture for me as my legs were killing me and I couldn&#8217;t even really ollie. \u00a0I got a little wallie then went into film mode. \u00a0Bernie almost got a crazy halfcab manual pivot 180 to fakie 5-0. \u00a0Others were trying some stuff. \u00a0Jack eventually did some weird gap to back disaster. \u00a0Greg joined him with a weird gap to front disaster then Jack topped it off with a gap to front pivot bearing breaker. \u00a0So sick. \u00a0It started getting real cold and windy so perfect time for Bernie to try landing another trick as it gets dark. \u00a0He didn&#8217;t get it though. \u00a0It was a cool manny up a ledge kickflip back to manny. \u00a0He almost did it.We cruised up to the park, but the lights were out and apparently don&#8217;t turn on until 7. \u00a0That is the most ridiculous garbage ever. \u00a0So we bailed out for some grub then hit the Castle Rock park on the way home. \u00a0Of all the sickness I&#8217;ve seen the Nullers put down this one ranks up there. \u00a0Those guys seriously destroyed the park in no time. \u00a0I cannot believe they associate with me. \u00a0Derek did a back pivot to fakie on the qp to flat bank, back tail and back lip too. \u00a0Max ollied and kickflipped over everything. \u00a0Greg did 100 tranny tricks first try. \u00a0Jack and I had a close call collision that ended up being amazing. \u00a0We had almost run into each other and had turned up this hip to avoid colliding. \u00a0As we went over the hip Jack came off his board as I was kinda pushing him a little and he landed back on his board. \u00a0Epic. \u00a0Jack went on to do every trick possible on a rail. \u00a0He would do one trick from the bank to flat bar, then come back and do another one down the rail. \u00a0Tricks included hurricanes, feebles, smith, lips, tailslides, everything. \u00a0Eventually I joined in and did the bank to flat bar boardslide pretty easy. \u00a0I couldn&#8217;t commit to the downhill rail though. \u00a0It wasn&#8217;t very tall, but it was pretty steep. \u00a0Jack was hyping me up though, and was close to back tails. \u00a0We made a deal where I&#8217;d get his back with a boardslide if he got back tail. \u00a0A few tries later he got it and I finally committed to boardsliding it. \u00a0Luckily I got it first try. \u00a0Around this time period Max decided it would be a good time to slam repeatedly around the park. \u00a0He slammed hard on a silly board throw down, nose manuals, ollies, everything. \u00a0Over and over, like 10 in a row. \u00a0We were laughing so hard. \u00a0Derek did some of his front 180 fakie 5-0 tricks, back 180 the huge euro and some fast nose mannies. \u00a0I went on to boardslide the quite a few times while Jack went on to land everything. \u00a0Front smith shove, front lip big, first ever front tail big and shut down the night with back tail shove. \u00a0Ridiculous. \u00a0Such an incredibly fun day. \u00a0I can&#8217;t believe how positive and awesome the Nullers are. \u00a0You guys seriously rule.Count update. \u00a0285\/300.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An early
