skate journal: paco sanchez and barnum with will and cass on another hot day (oct 16, 2025)
On another unseasonably warm November day I drove to Denver and met Cass at Paco Sanchez park. I had randomly thought about it recently and how good the ledges are. But I didn’t remember how bad I am at ledges now. I was super sore too. With all that going against me I did get an ultra slow/bad line of front 50 shove then halfcab noseslide and some crooks. Cass had some good 50s, noseslides, front shoves, kickflips. Will some really good back 5-0s, manual up the wedge, front 5-0. Cass and I played a game of SKATE, he said it was a good game, it wasn’t. I got letters on fakie flip, halfcab flip, b/s flip, front shove and something else.
Then we went to Barnum as it was only 4 minutes away. It was mostly dead because of a Broncos game. I was so sore at this point, hardly did anything. The 5-0 around the corner was so fun as were the long (for me) back 50s. Will’s ollie over the ball was amazing. As was watching him take like 10 tries to roll in. Cass came out of nowhere with the noseslide shove down the hubba. He had some good grinds on the bank to curb too. It was nice getting out in the sun and doing something different.
