Dave is 41 and has one of the best styles on a skateboard ever. \u00a0He was ripping. \u00a0As was everyone. \u00a0Doing any tricks on the parking block side was a blast. \u00a0Back 50s were so fun. \u00a0Brian and Neil did every trick I&#8217;ve seen them do. \u00a0Which is like 100 tricks for Brian. \u00a0I got a lot of my tricks and even quite a few on the parking block side. \u00a0Highlights were a first try front d on the coping side, every single back 50 on the parking blocks, front smiths on the coping (at least i think they were smiths) and back 50 to fakie on the coping. \u00a0Toward the end I was trying front d&#8217;s on the parking block and wasn&#8217;t close. \u00a0As I dropped in once Brian says &#8220;Do it this run and I&#8217;ll learn nollie tres&#8221;. \u00a0I landed it. \u00a0How&#8217;s the nollie tre coming Brian? \u00a0Funnest ramp ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neil, Jake and I met Brian and Lazer at Brian&#8217;s in Longmont. \u00a0We went to one of the schools with the banks and stuff to ollie onto and over. \u00a0Warming up took a bit as usual until I found maybe the funnest line of my life. \u00a0Dropin on a bank, manual a sidewalk into a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-skate-journal"],"wppr_data":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1j9K4-iH","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1159\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
