Was supposed to meet up with Riley, Bernie and crew at Arvada park early, but I just couldn’t muster the strength to do it. I was so exhausted from the day before. So later on after a trip to 303 Fuzz and I hit the Broomfield park for a pretty mellow session. We started off goofing around on the quartapotty putting our boards as close to it as possible and going into axle stall. I got about a foot away, Fuzz put it at the very base of the qp. So sick. Then we kinda started doing whatever on the blue ledge and quartapotty. Fuzz got a front blunt on the qp. I was skating kinda pathetically. Legs were beat or something. There isn’t really anything I took from the session as noteworthy. Fuzz had some moves. We played a game of SKATE at the end where I got pink slipped. I blame the new shoes. Ha, as if.

Up early in the morning at Broomfield park to film a skit/montage of the Null dudes. It was completely epic and one of the funnest things with Null I’ve been a part of. Look for it this week. I briefly skated the park, slammed super hard on a flatground kickflip before filming the Null team skate as good as I’ve ever seen them skate. We went on to film at spots and I had a chance to skate a little near the end of the day failing at nose mannies. Oh I did have a little fun line at Sussex before filming. Ollie a little bump, slide over a speed bump, slappy tailslide to fakie, fakie flip bail. Fun though. So tired.

I had the day off work. It was gorgeous outside. I met Fuzz at Crisis then met up with Sam Pino, Bernie, Dean, Ian at the newish Thornton park. I’ve never been there before and well, it rules. The bowl is a bit mellow, but the street stuff is epic. I had was done with the big board and switch wheels back to the 8.125 setup I had. It felt great cruising around the park. Everyone was killing it. Some highlights were Sam’s ollies popped out of banks, Dean boardsliding a round bar and fakie ollies out of banks, Bernie’s front baords down the little rail, Ian ripping quietly, Fuzz destroying everything. I skated hard and was adjusting to the smaller setup. I did manage a slappy back 50, slow front 50 off the 3 stair, noseslide down a hubba before most everyone left. Dean, Bernie and I skated the little manual pad with the wallrides around it. So fun. Bernie did halfcab manual to wallride to fakie. I might have done manual to wallride. Dean came closeish to learning nose manuals. Dean left and I battled quick up to kickflip wallride. Came super close, but never got one. Bernie did a couple fakie manuals fakie flip out. Almost fakie flip to fakie manual. We ended it on the hip where I managed a bigflip and I think Bernie did b/s flip. Fun times.

Had one of those impulse “I’m gonna go to the skatepark” moments and went to Arvada. If Boulder had a decent park lit at night I would have love to just go there, but they have neither. My friend Steve was there as well as the No Love dudes and Jeff. Rad. I started out dorking around on the little bank/blue ledge. Jeff was ripping. Went to the bowl with Steve and some older people. Had fun in there. Got front d first t. Went to the top of the park with the manny pad and really started to feel like I suck at skateboarding. Couldn’t manual the box. Couldn’t boardslide the long ledge I’ve boardslide a bunch of times, couldn’t really do anything. I was bumming on the big setup big time. We hit the miniramp for a bit. I took way too many tried for front d and was so tired it was insane. We went up to the little qp by the bowl were the No Love dudes were brewing out (broh’ing out with beers) and that was the funnest part of the night. I did a lit of tricks on the qp including front feebs, front d and hurricane (which Andrew filmed). Steve got quite a few tricks as well as a couple others. At least I skated ok the end of the session.

Went to Lville park with Ollie. Hadn’t been there in a really long time. There was just a few people there. A dad wearing hiking shoes and full protective gear, his kid on a bmx bike and a couple other skaters that could do a couple tricks. I’ve waited way too long to update my journal, but basically I wasn’t that stoked, skated like crap and Ollie was kind of so so about it. I took a long time to do front smith stall on the bank to curb and kickflip to fakie on the bank. It was cool cruising around though. Ollie did an ollie to fakie on the bank, dropped in on the hubba, had a cannonball to fakie that hyped the other kids up at the park. Had to get Ollie home quick for bed.
