Woke up in Buena Vista still sore from snowboarding the day before with Ollie on his first day riding lifts. \u00a0We left Buena Vista pretty early and were back in boulder before noon. \u00a0Jake came over and played some SKATE at my house a bit later while we waited for Liz to return from a walk. \u00a0It was a decent game. \u00a0I ended up winning as we both struggled with treflips and I landed a weird one as Liz got back so Jake went for double or nothing, bailed it and the game ended.We went to the Lafayette park along with every other skater in Colorado. \u00a0It seriously sucked. \u00a0Let me correct that last sentence. \u00a0I seriously sucked. \u00a0Notice I took the ‘t’ off so ‘It’ changed to ‘I’? \u00a0Neat eh? \u00a0Anyways, yeah, I HATE skating crowded places. \u00a0Actually I hate crowds in general. \u00a0But this was too much. \u00a0I didn’t even know where my friends were and when I did they were skating steep obstacles and clearly didn’t want me around to bum out the session. \u00a0Every time I started to get excited about skating either a group of kids would get in the way or I’d have to avoid whatever I wanted to skate or have a collision. \u00a0Every time I avoided something or everytime I got snaked it would take me down another level. \u00a0I debated leaving by myself and finding some place other to skate (After leaving I noticed a waxed curb about a block away. \u00a0Next time!). \u00a0But I was really hyped on my friends that were there and after I threw a bit of a temper fit saying how much I hate the place Brian calmed me down and reminded me that it’s not the park I hate, it’s the crowds. \u00a0After that I finally did have a bit of fun. \u00a0Jake had been killing it all day. \u00a0Brian committed to blunt fakie on the narrow tall stonerpipe (can we nickname it that?). \u00a0The only things I did I was remotely proud of were wallies up the dumb little qpipe and committing to boardslides down the rail, but not landing them. \u00a0There was a pro spotting at the park even – Angel Ramirez. \u00a0He ripped more then I thought he would. \u00a0He is the first person I’ve seen skate the bump to marble flatbar. \u00a0He did back noseblunt and front feeble back 180 out on it. \u00a0Neat. \u00a0He also front boarded it frmt flat into the bank.Sorry to my friends for being such a whiny bitch. \u00a0I really hate skating around crowds. \u00a0I know it shouldn’t bother me so much, but it does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
