Skate journal: downtown boulder awesomeness with a fun crew (july 13, 2011)

I’m updating this from my phone while up in the mountains.  Hi tech yo.  Wednesday night ruled.  Fuzz, Dean, Brett, Jake met at my house and we left to meet Carleigh at St Julien.  Fuzz, Jake and I started with some basic lines and got slightly less basic.  First line was kickflip then fs 180 over the glorified curb.  Second was halfcab flip then back 180.  I don’t think I’m remembering this right.  We did front shove, no comply 180 then halfcab.  My halfcab was horrible.  Heelflip then something.  We kickflipped it too.  Fuzz and I struggled at fakie bigflips and couldn’t follow them with shoves.  Everyone was having fun.  Dean was ripping.  Brett had some side pain and still skated.  Carleigh was quiet and seemed on a different mission then us.  Jake and Brett had cracked their boards before we moved on to the nearby boardslide ledge.  It was pretty crowded with pedestrians but we did it.  Carleigh got noseslide.  Brett got boardslide.  Dean and me too.  I also got a great run for me.  Kickflip up the curb, short crooks on the ledge, back 180 off, fakie bigflip on flat, front shove, then almost manual a section of sidewalk.  Fuzz did a sick boardslide to fakie and started going for front lip but broke his board clean in half.  It was hilarious.   We left after this.  Then we saw a biker showing off and endo into a rock.  It put fuzz and I on the ground in laughter.  Most of us went for a couple drinks after and that was a blast too.  Good times, good dudes.  Let’s do it again.
