Got up early and drove all the way from Omaha to Boulder. \u00a0The last two hours of the drive were full of the kids yelling while playing in the back of the car. \u00a0It was rough. \u00a0Then I hit the grocery store and was reminded of how crowded Boulder gets when the students come back. \u00a0Finally, I went skating. \u00a0I met John at St Julien and we dorked around on a wooden crate that had been set down the ledge for a long time. \u00a0I was sucking. \u00a0John was ripping. \u00a0It took me at least 10 tries to ollie into it. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0I blame my travel feet. \u00a0But we had fun. \u00a0John got a run with a manny up and manny down. \u00a0I got the same, but with just an ollie in. \u00a0We also rode along the ledge then ollied into the bank. \u00a0I got a manual up to rock to fakie. \u00a0Nothing special, but a good warm up.We cruised around to various spots. \u00a0We hit the brick bank at the bottom of the parking garage. \u00a0That thing pretty much sucks. \u00a0We both dropped in and I got a front 50 stall then turned into the bank. \u00a0We skated the white ledge for awhile and not much went down. \u00a0John got close to a bunch of backside noseslides and I got close to back 50s. \u00a0I managed one accidental back 5-0 where I came to a complete halt before landing. \u00a0Sweet. \u00a0We messed around at Wells Fargo banks for a minute. \u00a0I got a back 5-0 late revert. \u00a0We messed around on some other stuff before ending back up on Canyon and doing tricks into the parking garage bank. \u00a0We were pretty beat, but ended up doing a bunch. \u00a0I got kickflip, shoves, varial flip, fakie bigflip and a backside flip. \u00a0John got front shove revert, no comply shifty, halfcab flip, fakie flip and probably more that I forget. \u00a0We closed on a game of SKATE where John schooled me once again. \u00a0He did nollie flip and switch flip. \u00a0I’ll never land those again. \u00a0Doh. \u00a0I only got him an S on a heelflip that I should have snapped the tail of my board on. \u00a0Oh well, it was a blast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
