More flatground in front of the house. Thought I only had a few minutes before dinner with the old neighbor, but it turns out I had an hour. Didn’t land much. I got a 3 flip, a few frontside halfcab flips, lots of halfcab flips, but nothing to write home about. Pretty weak session and I don’t like the new Romero shoes.
skated flatground in front of the house and sucked. really sucked. Got a line of backside flip, halfcab lip, varial flip, but it was pathetic. Hate my new shoes.
Totally awesome. I’m the cop. Premiering Oct 26, 2009. Be there!
Met Chris and Chad at the new awesome art musuem manual benches. I was feeling pretty out of it and the new setup wasn’t helping. I got one slow ollie up gap to manual on another. Don’t forget that this gap is literally only a few inches. It’s fun though. Chris slammed trying to nose manual through it.After getting the boot we hit the bump to wallride Nate and I hit awhile ago. Chris did all kinds of rad tricks like beanplant fakie, boneless to tail,etc. I got a front “feeble” as Chad put it.Next we skated the little uphill ledge thing in front of the Natural Hist Museum. Well, we didn’t skate it as a ledge, we just did other stuff. I got ollie up to side rocks both ways. back board pulled to fakie and a back board pulled into manual. That was cool. Chris killed a million combos and Sean had met up with us and did a no comply and 180 nose manual.Next spot was the mellow gray bank a few yards away. I got a backside flip and tried a bunch of no comply bigger spins. Never got one. Got a decent halfcab flip though. Sean had a cool full cab no comply and Chris once again all kinds of cool tricks like varial heel to fakie and various boneless combos. Chris and Chad acted like the wusses they are and took off after this.Sean and I cruised around and hit the old Denver Post building for a minute. Pretty fun. Nothing special went down other then me shooting my board into traffic and running after it like an idiot. We hit a ledge for a minute before getting the boot. Then we hit the wallride nearby, bombed a little hill nearby and I bailed front wallrides for awihle. Got close though. We ollied the four stair on the way out and that was it.
I need to work on some life saving hair.
PJ Ladd is the king of fast tech skating done perfect and one of my all time favorites.
After running some boards up to MRKT I stopped by the new Spring Valley park with new shoes, a new deck AND new wheels. Ultimate poser. With the fear of falling still pretty high I kept it mellow and just kinda skated slow mellow. Not much new there really right? I did a bunch of kickflips on flat and had to force myself to not clinch my fist to protect my thumb. Pretty funny. I got a couple board slide to nose manuals on the potato chip, but didn’t get the nosegrind out I wanted. Other then that it was a pretty basic pose fest for me. Felt really good to skate though and yes, even just one week off is too much.
Must be nice to be able to just do any trick ever. Dude rules. Can’t wait for the Battle Commander clip tomorrow.
Met Riley and the Sioux Falls crew at my house then headed to Rock Creek to meet John. I had my hand wrapped up real tight again and basically just posed on the ramp while everyone else skated. I did a few back 50s, but that was basically it. Then John, Brandon and I dorked out trying flips into front noseslides and just only committing with the front foot. Brandon got a couple big flips and then tried the real deal an may have actually done it. John kills the one foot combos. I got a kickflip front nose on footer. Fun. I should try real ones once I can skate with the option of falling down. I went to film Riley do a ramp montage, but their friend “Dad” ended up rolling or even breaking his ankle. Shitty.We hit a few Boulder spots for a bit after this. No one really skated. Next we went to Parker skatepark. Jeff, Brian Bourquin, Bernie and Mikey met up with us. Talk about torture. That park rules and I couldn’t even really skate. I did some front 50s for awhile. Did one to front board and popped out. But my hand really started to hurt so I basically just sat and posed out for a few hours. I did manage to film Riley and Mikey huck themselves for awhile. That was fun. Look for a montage on the null site soon.
