After two nights of camping with thunderstorms and a daughter that is terrified of lightning, a 22 mile kayak ride down the Niobrara River a six hour drive home and Carhenge I went for a quick skate before picking up some things at the grocery store. I was literally so tired I could not speak a complete sentence to Liz before I left. It had rained a bunch and everyone else was at yellow curbs. But I only had a few minutes (and I was tired!) so I left thinking I would probably go to red curbs, but it ended up being dry a few blocks away (typical colorado) so I went to the hardest place to skate around, campus. And I skated some really dumb stuff that was way harder than it should be. First place was that perfect parking lot with the 1 up 3 down manny pad. I did a super dumb line of manual, ollie up onto the somewhat narrow sidewalk, olllie a tiny gap then kickflip off the curb. All the cracks and my exhuastion made it so much harder than it should have been, but I did it. Then I cruised down the hill and did some fun powerslides on the way to the curved two stair area that I’m pretty sure I’m the only one that has ever skated it. I took a long time to get ollie up one, ollie up the next, front 180 both. The quick up was hard. I tried just ollieing up both in one ollie, but I’m not gifted in the ollie department. Especially when I’m tired. Last thing was 10 flip tricks before I could go to the car. Kickflip, fakie flip, varial flip, heelflip, 360 flip, halfcab flip, f\/s halfcab flip (took forever), b\/s flip, fakie varial flip and fakie bigflip. Time for sleep!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
