Did a kickflip early in the day after losing miserably in basketball. Then later, on after a few drinks, we went to the Waunakee Skate Park.  My brother and I took turns on my board.  He did some kick turns and a couple board slides. I basically just did some noseslide tricks, although there was one run near the end, where I did a crooks and a switch front nose slide along with a switch noseslide shove.

After a rain delay I met Joe at the 20th street DIY.  It had gone from pouring rain to sunny and super hot/humid in no time.  It took me a while to get going.  Partly because there is so much greatness that I couldn’t figure out where to start.   The line I worked up to was really fun.  Grind over the love seat, crooks, kickflip to fakie.  I had some way better feeling crooks than I did in the clip.  Joe rattled off his ledge maneuvers and got some legit crooks.   The rock and roll I did on the double qp was so fun.  That’s why I love this park so much.   There is some weird fun stuff but also some perfect ledges.  I would get a line of front slash the little qp then slow front 50 shove the red ledge.  Hyped me up to ollie that high.  Joe’s boardslide around the bar was gnar as was the halfcab flip ender.  Super fun session.  I’m missing a lot.   Man I wish DIYs were as good in CO.  Maybe I should do something about that.

On a hot night I pulled into a hectic Broomfield park about the same time as dave and Rob.  The batting cages were crowded, there were teenagers “going beast” with shopping carts, BMXers, and then surprisingly Jack, Joe and Garrett too.  So yeah, it was an overwhelming vibe for us older folks.  

The bank to curb was more fun than normal to me.  Did some slappy crooks on it and finally a front tail.  Saw Rob get some front tails too.   Dave and I played on the mellow bank doing his new trick.  Nollie back shove body varial.  He got a really good one.  I would get a sketchy one that was really fun.  

Then it was mostly chaos.  Saw Rob get close to halfcab noseslide the bank to ledge.  Dave fakie pivot the quartapotty which needs a new nickname because of the gnarly new coping.  He nose manualled the blue pad too.  I tried a lot of kf 50s that were close, but never got both feet on.  Had some slow front 50s on the black box but couldn’t back them with a treflip flyout.   

The Nullers ripped.   Jack did his first kickflip in 9 months.   Garrett so smooth. Kf back tail was hot.  Joe showed off his pop.  Sean joined at the end and rattled off flippers and black box staples.
