On a nice Saturday after some bidness and hanging at Crisis Carleigh, Fuzz, Wade and another older guy Jason went to the bank spot in Broomfield. As typical with my friends it was just me skating and my friends sitting around. Ha. Not really, that only happened for a bit and they joked about it. Not shown above is a waxed section which slides well. Careligh did several bluntslides, front tails, no comply front tail and bonelesses. After a random struggle with manuals Fuzz popped some steezy ollies, fakie flip, kickflip to fakie and some poppy chinese ollies. I had some struggles with kickflips on the bigger setup. Had some front tails on the waxed section that actually slid, kickflips out of the curb, couldn’t get a bigflip on the bank. Struggled with kickflip to fakie and boneless, but got them and they felt good. Wade is fun to skate with. Lots of powerslide variations and bonlesses. Big Mike joined us after awhile and added some backside ollies on the bank, no comply tricks. Jason killed some front tailslides and bluntslides. Front shove to fakie, switch front shove. He rips.

Then we ended with a “game of SKATE” that started with a boneless to back boneless that took everyone out. Even a few tries later a kickflip was troublesome. It was mostly a rad fun dorky game of SKATE that just kind of fell apart, but was still a rad way to end the day.
