Up kind of early on a warm Sunday. I headed to Denver with the desire to skate some ledges. I went to the 38th Ave spot, but felt bad waking people up in the morning so I headed to the far away Dayton park. I arrived having to piss badly to a crowded park with people fully padded. Whoa. They referred me to a needle riddled disgusting porta potty that I barely survived. Then it was skate time. The little qp is so fun. I was getting going, trying to ollie onto the ledges, grinds etc. Had some fun going. I wore thin socks in hopes that my shoes wouldn’t feel too small. It almost worked, but by the end I was as sore as the day before. Doh. I had fun though. Another older dude named Chad showed up and we had fun chatting and skating. He had taller front 50s even on the up – up ledge and nosegrinded the bench. So sick. He got me to try front 50s on the qp over the ledge and I got a few. So fun! My ledge game wasn’t great. I got a really bad back 50, a few crooks, front 50 shove, close to switch noseslide shove, a few other basics. Flatground went alright. Did one of the most casual heelflips I’ve done which was surprising considering I’m still on 8.5. Also had a 360 flip pretty quick. I wish that park was closer.

(setup: 8.5 null message deck, venture 5.8s, thunder bushings, 52mm reed wheels, old black/white NB# PJ NM533s)
