Crew collected and rolled to Denver in Fuzz’s off road mobile. It was Jack, Sean, Dave, Fuzz and me. First spot was the carwash wallride spot kind of for Dave, but he had remembered it pretty differently than it is. Jack did some tall wallrides immediately. Then to manual and back 180 out. Dave did some good wallrides too. Then Dave and I did the wallie nollie. Fuzz chilled and took photos. Sean setup a board then put together a smooth line. I was filming at this point and Jack was getting close to a wallride shove wallride and Dave close to a wallride kickflip line when we got the boot. Dude was pretty upset considering absolutely no damage was being done. Oh well.

So we went to this nearby ledge where we ended up staying put. I had wanted to switch noseslide off the 3 stair, but never really committed to it and was not feeling confident at all. I couldn’t even do kickflips on flat. Sean was going 100mph and rattling off some smooth tailslides and stuff. Jack was putting together some crazy combos. Fuzz too. Dave came through with some solid front 50 variations to firecracker. Sean was going so fast I thought he could pop his fakie tailslide past the stairs. Jack’s did back tail then back 3 and then a back tail shove to manual first try. Insane. I slowly gained some confidence and was going for switch cheater front nose then switch 180. It took awhile, but I got it. The whole time I was wanting a bigger setup. Fuzz got halfcab noseslide then back 180, fakie 50 then switch 180. Solid. Then we bolted home.

(setup 8.25 null lazer deck, thunder 148 lights, venom 88a bushings, 2 washers inside each axle, 51mm v1 bones stf wheels, new balance numeric black 345 size 12, footprint flat 5mm insoles)
(pain level 1/10 not any pain, but felt very awkward on my board)
