Carleigh and I rolled to CO Springs to meet up with Bernie, Sam, Mikey and Derek. \u00a0After hitting Proper we went and met up with the dudes at a somewhat famous rail<\/a>. \u00a0Derek was the only one to get on it even with a boardslide. \u00a0Pretty gnarly spot. \u00a0The rest of us just kinda skated around. \u00a0I did a dumb run of front smith stall on a wood ledge, followed by a nosestall on a ledge, then ollie a 4 stair then back 180 right away over a crack in the sidewalk. \u00a0After some driving around we decided to just skate around downtown Springs. \u00a0Not a whole lot went down for awhile. \u00a0We ended up at the City Hall or something which had a nice ledge down a 5 stair. \u00a0Mikey was able to nose manual it, Derek back 50’d it. \u00a0I tried to noseslide it. \u00a0But it felt like it was time to move on. \u00a0We ended up at a downtown park with this bank:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bernie and I skated while others investigated the nearby spots. \u00a0I beat Bernie to a back smith, front rock, but he did ollie up to front 50 like it was nothing to prove he is better. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0We had fun though. \u00a0The front slash above was super fun. \u00a0Sometimes doing a basic trick first try feels the best. \u00a0I didn’t go much beyond this. \u00a0Mikey kinda killed it. \u00a0Blunt to pivot, nosepick. \u00a0Derek did front blunt easy, back disaster, almost pivot fakie. \u00a0Then we took a long skate back to the car. \u00a0On the way the funnest thing I did was a wallride on a jersey barrier.<\/p>\n

Next we went to a school we had peeped earlier. \u00a0It was basically a long three stair where each step was about 3 feet long and about 40 feet long and curved. \u00a0It looked insanely fun and we (at least I) had a blast. \u00a0Bernie and Derek kinda messed around and did some sick manual tricks from one stair up to the next and back down etc. \u00a0Bernie did manual kickflip up to the next level and almost fakie manual up to fakie nose manual which would have been of the chains. \u00a0There were gaps off the second and third levels. \u00a0Carleigh did a front 180 off the second one into the parking lot. \u00a0Mike almost nollie nose mannied the lower level and slammed a lot trying flippers off the second level. \u00a0I kinda somehow found the drive and skated about as well as I could. \u00a0After I got kickflip up the first then manual the second in only a couple tries I had a lot to work with. \u00a0Coming the other way I wallied up to the second level, kickflipped on flat then back 180’d the gap to the parking lot. \u00a0Coming the other way I got kickflip up the first level, ollie up on, ollie up one, front 180 off the 3rd level. \u00a0And the line I worked up to which made me so happy was wallie up the two, kickflip up onto the third then ollie to axle stall the curb into the parking lot. \u00a0It was one of the best feeling lines I’ve ever done. \u00a0Not only was every trick good for me, but I did them good and I seemed to have a fluid motion throughout. \u00a0The wallie up felt super good. \u00a0Popped above the ledge and floaty feeling. \u00a0Seriously felt awesome. One of my favorite lines I’ve ever done. \u00a0Next we went to the dream spot bank school where I failed at back 50s<\/a> and Bernie failed at kickflip front 50s<\/a>. \u00a0Derek had fun playing Bball skate. \u00a0Mikey had a nice front blunt. \u00a0After filming we played a loose game of flat bank SKATE that deteriorated into a game of HORSE with a flat basketball that Bernie won. \u00a0Then was dinner. \u00a0Fun day. \u00a0Had a blast at that 3 stair spot. \u00a0Still hate that board though. \u00a0On the way home Mikey joined a very tired Carleigh and a slightly intoxicated me for a Pissed Jeans music fest on the way home. \u00a0I obviously loved it. \u00a0That band is the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
