On another sunny and warm morning I met Cass and Kyle at the old Commerce City skatepark. I had a setup change. 8.25 with Venture V8s. I was quite happy with it at times. Anyway, Cass and Kyle were kinda lazy with it, not really feeling it. They did skate some. Kyle did a cool kickflip wallride on the back of the capsule. Cass had some nice front noseslides and front boards on the new flatbar. I had some okay feeling boardslides and stuff, took several tries to get a kickflip. But man, had a first try ollie up up a ledge that surprised Cass and I. That made me pretty happy. Kyle and Cass left while I waited for Garrett. I did a line on top of slow front 50 the curved ledge, ollie up the ledge, kickflip on flat, flailed a wallie nollie. Then tried a line for a while of ollie to fakie on a bank, halfcab noseslide a bench, back 50. Never got the back 50 and really struggled with the ollies to fakie which was annoying. Garrett came and did his line pretty quickly and man it looked good. He had also done a nosegrind shove that was very pretty.

Then Garrett and I went and met with Kyle and Cass at the warehouse DIY. There were a few other there, everyone was cool. I chilled for a bit since I was full from drinking my smoothie between spots. Cass had a nice crook. Kyle with the ridiculous line in the gram above and ride on grind the entire ledge. They all took turns on the Sk8 Mafia mini board. Kyle’s treflips were ridiculous. Garrett’s crooks and kickflip up the ledge. Garrett skated his regular board too and had some good nollie front noses, back tail bigspin, etc on the long ledge. I got warmed up slowly then went in on a line that made me happy. Noseslide to fakie the new tall ledge, halfcab flip on flat, drop down, front 50 the long ledge. I think I got it and I also did front 50 shove but I’m not sure if it was in the line or not. Had a lot of crooks that felt good too on both ledges. Then we celebrated Garrett’s birthday over some very over priced margs. Fun day.
