skate journal: denver park before the nib premiere with garrett and cass (april 24, 2026)
Met up with Cass and Garrett at Denver park of all places. It was popping, took a while to even remotely get going. Cass was trying harder stuff quickly though tried to front shove the wedge drop. I had some fun on the east side lining the ledges. Did noseslide to fakie the taller one then switch front nose on the lower ledge. Then noseslide to fakie followed by a terrible halfcab noseslide. Got a few crooks on the taller one too before a crew of bikers decided it would be a good place to eat dinner. Garrett had crooks easy, back tails. We played a game of SKATE in the main area. I was out first, slammed hard on a pop shove of all things. Cass landed a lot of tricks, but Garrett matched hardflip and went on to take the win. Then we had a really fun night at the NIB premiere.
