skate journal: 98 arvada sore and a hip spot killing my foot (may 3, 2026)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 5th, 2026 by corpo

Went to Arvada park to meet up with 98 dudes. I was incredibly sore. Never did anything at Arvada other than huck front heels on the blue bank. Cass was off again. Dan did the best nollie front 180 I’ve ever seen. Scott almost a fakie heel. Preston smith grind the bank to C ledge was nuts. Gordon was poppy.

Off to the nearby hip spot. I didn’t feel confident enough to skate the main bank. Gordon and I looked at the little one around the corner and tried to get going on it. He did a shove. I tried no comply shove and was close, but on the quick push run up I felt a pop in my foot and instant pain shot through it. Argh. I’m done for a while, this was a bad one. I watched Ladd, Preston, Dan, Joe try some tricks. They were close.

Went to dog park incredibly sore from the long night before. Some old dudes were still there. Bratcher learned switch slappy. Cass and I were sucking and tried a warm up game of SKATE that didn’t go well for me getting letters on tricks I should do like bs flip, halfcab flip, etc. I don’t remember getting much of anything. The FOCO Nullers showed and I mostly filmed Hayden and it was cool.

We went to a weird spot. The boys killed it. We went to another weird bank spot. Less was killed.

FOCO dudes left, a few of us went to the benches off Arapahoe. Ladd, Sean and I skated. I had some okay noseslides, some questionable crooks, questionable switch front noseslides. Ladd had good 50s, really good crooks, crooks shove, almost crooks 270 shove. Sean did maybe the best looking front shoves and kickflips down the 2 stairs. 5-0s, tailslides, killed it.

Then everyone else left and Eric and I tried some no comply flips/regular ones over a tiny gap across from dog park. I would get a regular one.
