Kinda slacked, then met Gordon at Broomfield around noon. The park was kinda popping. I skated alright. Was back at home on an 8.25 with Thunders. Struggled with kickflips which is kinda funny. Had a first try fakie bigflip, fakie flip, kickflip, b/s flip, maybe a halfcab flip. Hucked more. Gordon did all the shoves. Taylor was there ripping halfcab heels. I had some fun crooks, took a bit to get halfcab noseslide.

Then I drove to Loveland and went to the DIY to meet Dave and Hayden who had Nora and Emmett with him. I saw Dave do a switch 180 over the hip and a few grinds over the bank boob. Nora styled some kickflips to fakie, grinds on the flatbar on the bank and a lot more. Emmett too, that family has such good casual style on skateboards. Hayden ripped it. Pop shove tail grab off the bank boob and a cool line. I took a while to get going. Had a fakie back smith to fakie on the little qp followed by halfcab nose on the little ledge. Then took an hour to do that crappy kickflip.
