On a gorgeous afternoon I ran some boards to 303 then headed back to Broomfield for a session at Darin’s ramp. I was early though and decided it would be a good time to try back tails at Safeway ledge. Ugh. At first I thought I would have this easy. Did quite a few back tail stalls which is still new enough to me that it felt pretty good. But I have to slide it at least a little for the O-L-D-F-A-R-T challenge<\/a> so I had to keep going. After awhile it got depressing. Stall after stall, fail after ail. I tried a few switch crooks in there just to mix things up,but for the most part I just went in circles trying to do a back tail with a slide. After a solid hour of this I did finally got one that meets the very minimum requirement for slide. Granted, it slid into a stall, but it felt pretty rad anyway. In multiple decades of skating I have never gotten close to that trick. I might try again before posting this one into the contest, but whew, glad I did one. I might try to actually learn it better over time too. <\/p>\n
