skate journal: little loveland park, river spot, motorcycle spot and juniper pl diy (july 6, 2026)
Hot day. Cass, Joe, Rob, Neil and I rolled up to Loveland. Dave met us. We started at this little park since the weird and fun river spot is right there. Joe did some long boardslides. Cass front board shove. I did some kickflips to fakie on the mellow bank. Neil got some boardslides and back 180 off the bank.
We rolled to the river spot. Neil found the hardest angle and spot to do a no comply to tail. Joe did 3 tricks while I tried one. Front 50 shove, front 5-0 to rock, front pivot to front tail shove. All while I tried front pivot kickflip out. A few of which were very close. Dave found a crazy path to shove nose stall and went to fakie. So sick. I gave up on the pivot kickflip and did no comply shove instead.
Then we went to the weird motorcycle manny pad spot. It was so freaking hot, but the spot is so good it had Rob in the mix. No comply bigspin, no comply up (maybe to manual?), almost no comply flip up. Cass was the first to get manual and then would get close to manual back shove out. Neil lined out manuals, nose manuals, noseslides, kickflip. Dave had a pretty magical line going up up then kickflip into the bank. He also did manual front 180. I basically only did some noseslides.
Off to the DIY which had some young bucks ripping, Dave ripping a line with 360s over the hip. Rob cruised it. Joe did a bunch of tricks on the little ledge.
