Oh yeah, I skated at dog park on the way into work for about 20 minutes. It was super meh. 8.25 with Thunder T2s was not a good combo.

Had changed back to Indys. Very much disliked it. I skated to Willville. My board was more cracked than I remembered and I had new 600s. I couldn’t even kickflip. We started out on a tiny curb. I came close to doing a nollie front crook stall. Dave almost did nollie front 180 fakie 50. We went back to the main area. I managed one kickflip up the curb and was about 10% close to a sw 180 manual. Dave though, he almost did switch manual revert into the bank. It was amazing really.

skate journal: awesome day in denver with a great crew at dayton and nearby street spots (aug 3, 2025)

On a warm morning I met up with Cass, Kyle, Joe and eventually Garrett at Dayton skatepark. I remember thinking it was fun, but I also don’t remember much. Kyle, Cass and I had first try kickflips. Cass had nice front noses. I was happy to get a little line of back 50 to fakie on the qp then halfcab noseslide the ledge under the qp. Had some okay front 50s, couldn’t back 50. Kyle with the 5-0 kickflip out. There was a dude there doing long crooks on the qp and impossibles every time which was cool.

Then we went to a weird nearby ledge/loading dock spot. Most hucked over a trash can. I dorked around on a little bump and eventually found a fun line of kickflip on the bump to front 180 off the loading dock. It was really fun. Kyle had done a really nice kickflip over the trash can. Donnie tested his endurance trying a sw 180 crooks.

Lastly we ended up at a place I have only skated a couple of times that I love (last spot in this clip). And it did not let me down. They had redone it a little so the spot is slightly different. Garrett did a cool 180 into a bank then fakie tre the 2. I had pretty quickly landed crooks then kickflip down the 3. I got up the 3 a couple times, but it was a struggle. Joe and Dan had some great lines. I managed another line of sw front 180 a 2 stair then front shove the 3. Made me pretty happy. What a fun day!
