Can’t believe we did it, but we did. Dave and I went up to Idaho Springs park after work and met Cass, Garrett, Joe, Skelly, Jason and Dylan. At times there were several little kids, some on little sit down rolling toys, some on scooters while wearing half cabs, some on skateboards. I felt off the second we got there. Garrett said he was too and took several tries to bigspin the hip, 2nd try b/s flip, several tries to nollie back heel it. He would also have a really good front tail on the qp then wallie to manual to kickflip out. Joe had some nice back tails, front cooks then went in on hardflip down the big 2. He would land on one, but never roll away. Cass had a nice back 180 down the 3 stair, front noseslide, couldn’t get front shove down the 3. Skelly looked good, nice ollies, manual, 50 180 on the pad. Dave did a crazy kickflip to tail over the hip to tail. Oh yeah, the lights didn’t come on until well after dark so there was a period of not skating which made me so sore. Joe, Garrett, Cass had left when they didn’t turn on. Dave also had long 50s on the diamond cut coping, feeble the bank to curb, shit flip on the bank and a lot more I’m forgetting. I skated pretty mid and rotated between my 8.3 and 8.25. Had some good feeling crooks on the ledge was all I was proud of. Some noseslides, front tail stalls on the bank and no comply shove on the mellower bank. Jason was a treat to watch skate, haven’t seen him skate in a long time. Boardslides the long flatbar on the pyramid, almost front board, back 50s. At the end he did a crazy ollie on the stegasoris.
