After many a texts and gchats the evening finally got organized. Carleigh and Jack would run to Crisis to bring some new Null stuff. I was at home with Ollie til about 7. Carleigh and Jack ended up also saying they were cool with going to pick up some pool coping that will hopefully work as a fun old man upgrade to Rampy. So kind of them! They ended up bringing injured Fuzz with them for morale and scratching up my cruiser/filmer board. Jake and I rolled out a little after 7 and decided we’d wait for them at one of the funnest spots in Denver, 18th & Welton.

Jake and I did some rock ‘n rolls on the easy ‘creted barrier then we moved on to lining out some other stuff. Wallride on a barrier (without crete), over a little curb then trick on the banked ledge. Jake got his line first as the others were showing up. Back wallride, ollie, wallie bluntslide. So sick. I started with wallride too then would try to kickflip the curb and kind of tweaked my knee. This was party because I had new shoes and it’s rough getting used to new shoes:

Neat huh? Lakai Brea’s. Fuzz made me eat a couple Doritos crumbs that dried up my throat and almost killed me. Jack warmed up by falling down a lot which apparently works because he slayed it. We ended up staying in the area the whole night which was fine with all of us. Fuzz couldn’t ollie yet because of a rolled ankle but killed it on my filmer board anyways. Lots of fun dorking around popping the board up and running along the ledge, boneless tricks, etc. Even some new ones for him that I don’t know the name of. Jake got a lot of tricks on the banked ledge. Tons of bluntslides, slappy back 50 and hurricane. Whoa. Jack had a solid back 270 to front tail, wallies out of the barrier all easy, blunt to fakie the ledge, rock to fakie, whatever he wanted except pivot to fakie. Ha. He also tried a bunch of dark slides and would slide them, but he couldn’t get out of them. This destroyed his griptape which didn’t bother him, but Fuzz was cringng every time. So funny. Carleigh was smiling and having a good time. She’d never done a boardslide pop out before, but worked on it until she surfed one out all awesome. Kudos Carreigh. I had given up flippers for awhile due to my knee, but it seemed to work itself out and be ok. I tried a ton of tricks, few of which I came close to landing. Slappy back 50, back feeble were landed. Had fun starting at the opposite corner of the street and doing ollies or switch 180s off the curb cut, then doing alley oop (kind of) front 180s up the curb and trying switch boardslides. Got kinda close a couple times. After awhile I could flip my board again and started trying (posing) back feeble kickflip out. Never got close. I would do some flippers on the way back like fakie flip, halfcab flip, fakie var flip which were fun because of all the cracks I had to avoid. Tried a few front lips and somehow didn’t crack a board or get close. At the end I tried a few kickflip front boards and got into a few of them, didn’t pop out though. That would be neato. All in all the night was super fun. Street skating in downtown Denver is the best of the best. Thanks again Carleigh and Jack for running my errands and you can come skate Rampy anytime. But not you Fuzz.
