Feeling quite depressed and anxious about skateboarding I went to Westminster to meet Garrett at a new spot we saw at Denver Spot Locator. I got there first. One of my favorite thing about skateboarding is showing up at a new spot and being humbled by how hard it is, but then eventually getting used to some things. What makes this spot harder than it looks is the uphill approach as it curves and narrows. But we skated and we eventually landed some stuff we were happy with. I took a while to get boardslide. Even longer to get noseslide and noseslide to fakie. I did the kickflip to fakie then sw noseslide a few times, once with a 270 shove out. Actually, I did all the lines a few times. One other line I got was just an ollie on the bank and then nollie front tail on the ledge. I had gotten quite a few accidental front 5-0s and a 50 or two, but couldn’t do it once I selfie filmed. Garrett had lots of front nose and front tail variations. He then went on to film another banger tech trick for an eventual Null video. Joe showed and proceeded to huck himself down the big 2. Took him a bit, but he got it. Then on to back noseblunt on the ledge which was nuts. Fun session. Really needed a decent session after the last few. Oh yeah, I had put Indy Titaniums on my 8.25 setup. I liked it a lot.

(setup 7/10 8.25 null time warp, jessup ultra, indy titanium 144, 52mm spitfire f4 99a classic pink/green, splay rev s-series black size 12 remind cush insoles)
(pain level 5/10 pretty sore and arthritic feeling still)
