After a pretty chill day at work I left, picked up Jack and we headed up to Fort Collins to sell some boards then skate. \u00a0Initially the crew was Jack, Chris, AJ and me. \u00a0Chad quickly met up though. \u00a0After pushing basically all the way down Laurel we hit a rock wallie spot. \u00a0I stepped in dog crap right away. \u00a0So bummed. \u00a0Jack nosebonked a pretty tall rock, AJ ollied one and then we moved on. \u00a0Pretty quickly we ended up at a banked ledge spot by the dorm towers. \u00a0I’m not sure why they aren’t waxed up more because they are perfect. \u00a0 Chris and Jack were ripping it pretty quick. \u00a0Jack went mostly the non-wallie route with some solid front 50, front 5-o, front tailslides but slammed so hard on a front 5-0 front 180 out. \u00a0Jack was wallieing into anything pretty quick. \u00a0Wallie bluntslide, wallie back tail shove, wallie back lip almost. \u00a0AJ had some good wallies then got close to about 500 wallie 50s but never landed one. \u00a0I wasn’t skating too well. \u00a0I tried a line of crooks a ledge, wallie, wallie boardslide. \u00a0The crooks were my rare weird undercrooks and the wallies were really bad, low and I would land primo sometimes and slam. \u00a0Fun. \u00a0After awhile Greg, Eric and Jacoby showed up, but a nearby cop lurking weirded us out so we moved on. \u00a0Some dorking around and we ended up at the new lot by the gym with the rocks and kicker. \u00a0I was skating sooo bad at this point and was so sore and old feeling. \u00a0Wah. \u00a0Skelly joined up for a minute but was too sore\/tired to skate really. \u00a0AJ starting throwing some gnarly hardflips over the kicker and put down a good one. \u00a0Greg was trying to nosebonk the pole and came close. \u00a0I tried a couple slow kickflips and just gave up. \u00a0Chad had tied a banner to the pole and was holding it up to do tricks over. \u00a05 tries later I was able to ollie it low. \u00a0Not hyped on how hard and scary it was for me, but hyped that I didn’t give up on it. \u00a0Jack started trying this really crazy ollie back foot kick out over the pole and I went and played a game of SKATE with Greg that didn’t last long. \u00a0I did land a treflip and a heeflip which felt good though. \u00a0I also finally manualled down the kickder and to the lot. \u00a0Greg was doing the funniest manuals. \u00a0He would manual and take his front foot off and pretend like he was falling then go back into manual. \u00a0It was really funny. \u00a0Jack tried the crazy trick for awhile and ended up kinda wrecking his ankle again. \u00a0Doh. \u00a0After this we went to Chipotle where there was a soda cup that said “Welcome to the office Glen” on it. \u00a0Jack spotted it. \u00a0So funny. \u00a0They normally don’t even have Glen keychains at gift shops. \u00a0Even though I didn’t skate well it was a fun time and a fun crew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
