Skated solo for awhile totally sucking. Jason showed up after awhile and it got a little better, but I was still sucking. Being tired and old blows. But we skated the curb for quite awhile and that was fun. I got a front tail shove out and tried some weird back 180 nosegrinds that didn’t work out. Party time.
A night hanging beers with JP always guarantees a rough next day and this day would be no different. We started at Rock Creek and it went alright. I got some fakie pop rock creeks on and Josh regained most of his arsenal like back tails and front disasters all steezey.After two huge burritos at Chipotle we set out for Commerce City. This didn’t go so well. Between the two of us we might be able to add the decent tricks on one hand. Ugh, hangovers suck.
Josh Pluger was visiting from the city of angels. The heat was kicking and the crew was large. First spot was red curbs. Josh is a bit shy like me and I felt a little bad about the crew being so deep at 8. But everyone is old and fun so it was cool. About the only tricks I landed worth a shit are crooks on the 2 stair ledge, front 50 back 180 out, front 180 nose manual and got a nollie front shove up a curb although I wanted it to land in manny.Next we went to Boulder ditch. Jason showed me up on a back smith stall and I sat down as did almost everyone.Rock Creek was the final destination and man it was a blast as usual. On top of not sucking on the ramp as bad as normal I managed to beat Fuzz at SKATE for the first time. I got lucky though.
Headed up to Fort Collins with Brian, Jason, Lazer and Gabe to skate a new “bowled in” mini that Skelly invited us to. Got there a bit late but it ended up being a blast. Brian and Lazer killed it. Christopher was there and he and all the young rippers killed at too. I got a few basic tricks, but had fun doing them. It’s nice having finally learned back 50s.Next we went to a bank to ledge that’s been around forever. Took awhile to get warmed up, but Jason, Skelly and I were the only ones that really skated it. Brian and Lazer tried to sleep in the car. Those dudes are really old. Especially Lazer, he’s like 45 years old already. At the end Sean was trying to no comply the ledge, I was trying to kickflip axle stall and Jason was going for back tail revert. The loser was to buy Gatorade for everyone. Sean got his trick and I got his back. Jason didn’t and he didn’t buy us Gatorade. Huh.Late night skating is the best.
