Believe it or not it was my idea to go skate a ramp.  We hadn’t been to Dave’s ramp in a long time and I had been thinking about it.  I picked up Jake and Lazer and headed to Meta where we met Jason and I got a quick tutorial on DSLRs.  Off to Longmont we picked up Brian and went to Dave’s.  Oh yeah, we drove through a bunch of smoke from the wildfire going on and at times it was snowing ash on us.  Anyways, the session started slow.  I was really sucking, but surprisingly Lazer and Brian were having troubles too.  Brian took the worst slam I’ve ever seen him take (which is saying a lot).  He was trying front axle stall to fakie and dove from the coping onto his back all the way to the flat.  It was epic.  The fact that he was able to laugh it off is beyond me.Things eventually got going.  Jake was ripping as usual.  Brian was throwing down trick after trick, Lazer was ripping, Dave was holding his daughter, Jason was downloading music and I finally landed some Rampy tricks elsewhere.  I got a fakie pivot fakie, fakie front axle to rock ‘n roll to got heckled, crooks on parking block side, front ds felt pretty easy, etc.  We dorked around for awhile and I ended up getting Brian’s trick the front tough guy to front rock.  It was bad, sloppy and fun.  After awhile I held Dave’s daughter so he could skate.  That was pretty fun.  Allan had showed up and was calling out tricks for everyone to do.After awhile Jake and I went out front to play of SKATE which was going pretty slow and was ended abruptly by a drunk neighbor that tried to fight us and threw rocks in the street.  That dude sucked.
