On the way to meet Fuzz, Carleigh and I were talking about street skating vs park skating. We agreed that park skating is awesome, but I had to say the best park sessions are not as rewarding as the best street sessions. It’s awesome because this ended up being one of those totally awesome street sessions.Carleigh and I picked up Fuzz in Broomfield, jolted to Community to sell boards, then to 303 to sell boards. After that we parked kind of near Civic park and rolled out with no expectations. First spot was a 4 stair drop over a rail. Carleigh went first and put it down in a few tries. Fuzz made it look easy. I took several tries to commit, but landed it when I did. Rad. Nothing like testing out the ol’ knee right away.Some pushes later we were at a fun little ollie spot. Ollie over a curb, land in a metal grate that is somehow super smooth, ollie out. And some nearby ledges with gaps and lights on them to get your mini-Huf on. We were here for awhile and it was a blast. Fuzz’s tricks: sw front 180 into the grate and back 180 out, front 180 in sw front 180 out, ollie in to manual ollie out (so sick!) and ollied about 10 of the little gaps/lights on the bench. Carleigh got wallies and ollies in followed by ollies out and got the one of the little ledge gaps. I got a couple of the little ledge gaps and a light, kickflip in and front 180 out. Man the front 180 was bad. I landed so straight legged.Lots of pushing around. We hit a crazy white ledge into a parking garage for a bit. Fuzz put down some solid front 50s and a first try sketchy front tail fakie. I got a little front 50 followed by attempted hill bomb, but I bailed out as it was sandy and I’m pretty sure I would have died had I done the whole thing. We ended up at the 4 flat 4 building. Fuzz did a first try front 180 off a big drop. I rode off it. Security came and Carleigh only got once chance at the 4 flat 4 which she almost did. That’s ollie 4, ollie 4. Not ollie 8.More cruising the city and we hit a banked window sill to wallride a bit. Fuzz got first try front wallride, I took a few tries, then added another horrible front 180 out to the mix. Apparently my front 180s need work. Next up Carleigh laughed at Fuzz and I for taking multiple tries to boardslide a little painted ledge and did it first try. She even slid at least 3 inches of it. Ha, just joking Carls. Fuzz and I finally slid it and we bailed out through a crack ridden ollie that smelled of bum piss and started back towards the car.On the way there was a fun looking hill bomb in a parking garage. Fuzz and I went at it. Fuzz did a ollie over a sidewalk section, quick manual then into the hill. He was hauling ass and bailed out. I went into it slow with a little gap to manny, but managed to stick with it until the gate. So fun! A few red curbs and ollies later we were in another parking garage where I slammed super hard trying to manual down a little curb downhill pad. Since no one saw it I re-enacted for Fuzz and since Carleigh missed the re-enactment I re-re-enacted it and called it a night. Totally awesome night. Awesome crew, awesome spots, awesome awesome. Skateboarding is awesome. Today’s word of the day is awesome.

I still can’t get over how every single day there is a new part out there as good as this. This one hypes me up a lot though mainly because of the ditch/traffic line. So crazy!
