Went to Broomfield park pretty much right after work with the rain threatening. Got in a few warm up tricks with John Brandow before the rain kicked in and we went our separate ways. I went to Crisis and met up with Fuzz and Dave and we went to one of the funnest garages ever, Yellow Curbs. Things started slow, but they do for us these days. One of the first tricks that was tried by all was nollie back tail for Jason. I guess I’m the only one that landed one, but it’s a stretch calling what I did a nollie back tail. More like a backside powerslide with a little tail scrape. Fuzz was slamming pretty hard. Dave would slide out all casually. Lots of slappys on the shortest curb went down. Dave learned slappy crooks in under 5 tries much to Fuzz’s disapproval. Ha, the one trick he can’t do. Fuzz and I had a little kickflip challenge up, off, up, off some curbs that he won although I went for b/s flip when I got to the end. Havine the smaller board was nice for kickflips again. I could actually get up the curb when I wanted to. I came pretty close to kickflip up and treflip off. I put both feet on a couple times, but didn’t ride away. Either way hyped I tried that at least. Fuzz tried to get a “Kick back T first T for a B” (translation: kickflip back Tail first Try for a Beer), but didn’t and ended up getting a kick back 5-0 a few tries later. Dave had some smooth grinds, a rad ollie up, back 180 the hard way out of a curb cut. All in all a really fun session with a fun crew. Oh yeah, the only bummer was my knees are pretty arthritic lately and ollie’ing any higher then a curb seems pretty impossible. I pretty much did accidental wallies over parking blocks every time I tried to ollie over one.
