After work I picked up Matt and we rolled to Arvada park on a super nice day in the 60s. The park would go through waves of crowds and for the most part was too crazy for me to enjoy. We started out on the little qp at the top of the park. Matt took three tries to get an axle stall. Ha. But then did front and back d, front tail, treflips, heelflip, switch flip, etc. I got most of my tiny qp tricks, the hurricane took way longer then it should have. Then I started trying a line. Front smith the qp, no comply 180 on flat, halfcab flip on flat, crooks the marble ledge. Never quite got the crooks. Matt did back 50 on the marble ledge, front lip down the low rail then some other stuff. I had fun doing a manual across the euro to box and then a kickflip to fakie on the blue bank. Next thing I remember is trying to ollie the marble flat bar and boardslide it coming back the other way. I would get both, but not good. Matt had front and back lip and managed to get in the way of Mr 360 flyout several times. Matt took awhile to get a treflip over the hip. I posed kickflips and b/s flips. I got a couple ollies onto the tall blue pad and almost front shove off. Then it was off to the premiere of fl.oh.CO which totally ruled.
