Sore from the day before and hurting from more tennis in the morning I left my house with no intentions other than to maybe get a treflip. I first stopped at the manny pad off 55th, but I was so sore all I did was a slappy crook and realize I hated my shoes. Ended up at the big new building off 55th and putzed around some warm up dork stalls before giving up on kickflips. Found a new spot I thought would get me going. Did a rock on roll on the bank to rubber curb. Some 180s, a noseslide, couldn’t kickflip. Did a little nollie bonk into a sidewalk hill nearby. Then off Pearl scoped a micro bump to bump that I ollied before giving up and heading home.

Will, Rob, Dave and I rolled to Denver on a nice morning. Salty and Bratcher were there, but left pretty quickly. Cass and Jake were there, Kyle arrived shortly after us. My foot did not feel good. Cass quickly learned all the blunts and almost added blunt back shove to fakie. He did the blunt front shove twice. Kyle did like 100 tricks on the little qp. Dave took some slams getting used to the long parking block spine, but man he did some cool stuff. Was great seeing Rob on the board, cruising, carving. I was really struggling. Did get a warm up line I liked though of back 50 the little qp, wallie the low part of the spine, noseslide the ledge, crook the ledge right on the edge. Then I tried a million kickflip axle stalls. Some were close, most were not. It was really frustrating to not get it. But after giving up I did have fun doing some old Rampy tricks on the little qp. Fakie hurricane and fakie pivot fakie were my favs. Jake was ripping, the front pivot and pivot fakie were solid. Dave’s lines were crazy good. I lined out the front tail on the pyramid with a slappy crook and a pivot on another little qp.

Then we went to the nearby DIY warehouse. Kyle did some flatground then stopped skating. Cass did some long ride on grinds. Saw Rob bust some 180s, halfcabs and get on some front boards. Will had some cool back 50s and thought about back nosegrinds. I did the incredibly non-proper front rock then crooks and was happy to get crooks shove. Also got a first try front axle, but then couldn’t do it again. Did a crooks on the tall ledge. Dave had some long lines on the spine thing, on the qp, to long ride on grind. Then the cops came and told us to leave, but were nice and of course used to skate. So we encouraged the kickflip which was cool to see. Then we went to an overpriced hipster taco joint, but it was still fun hanging with everyone.
