skate journal: square state fun with kevin (oct 6, 2025)

Posted in Favorite, Skate Journal on October 10th, 2025 by corpo

On a cool and rainy morning Kevin and I barged the Square House. I was finally feeling better and had some energy. And it seemed like right away the session was popping. We captured most of the highlights on video, but we skated hard for almost 4 hours. Kevin did the nollie flip right away and I somehow got his back with a first try kickflip. Kevin’s noseblunt was crazy. I was unhappy that I couldn’t ollie onto the stage. The wallie up the brick section is so fun. It took me a while to get the sw 180 into the bank. I was just trying for that part of the line, but it set me up for kickflip so I posed a couple before realizing I could actually do it. Getting that line was my highlight and made me quite happy. At the end we played treflip. Kevin and I got regular ones (mine was crap) then he got a good switch one and I never quite got a nollie tre. Oh well, really fun session.

skate journal: denver spots for kevin’s 40th (oct 5, 2025)

On a cool morning we picked up Sean then headed to the warehouse. We met up with Garrett and Will. I was feeling quite sick. Slammed on a sw front nose right away and almost went to the van to try and sleep. Nothing except crooks were working for me. I would get a crooks shove and then worked on crooks 270 shove which I’ve never done before. Was remotely close. I couldn’t front 50 at all, and it really bummed me out. Kevin and Sean did some very long lines, but were never quite happy with their full pulls. Garrett worked on nollie front crooks. Will did a bunch of wallies and back smiths.

Then we went to the weird downhill ditch and it sucked. Well, it was okay to ride down. Will surprised us all with a banging b/s flip over a hip.

Last we went to Stanley Market ditch. There were a couple people skating already so we felt bad barging their session. Sean and Joe sat it out. Garrett took his nollie front crooks to this spot. I did some noseslides and I think that was it. Kevin struggled to find the right angles, but did such good crooks to fakie then sw flips.

Then we went and had some drinks to celebrate Kevin turning 40 years young.
