Jason, Carleigh, Jake and I headed down to Denver before 7pm on a warm Friday night. I needed to bring a bunch of boards to 303 so after that we parked in the Civic Park area and started out. After some sidewalk pushing and downhill traffic action we ended up at the Denver Library and skated the metal grate wallie drop thing. Everyone got the wallie out. Took me the longest of course. Jake did it front 180 out too. Oh yeah, as I mentioned previously I had had enough of the thick I-Path shoes so was skating the old DC’s again. Anyways, they felt better. We ollied over some low ledges then went to meet Jeff a few blocks away.First stop with Jeff was a downhill ollie bump. \u00a0Jeff and his buddy Sebastian went first and did some fast and huge ollies. \u00a0Jake and I kinda looked at each other and laughed. \u00a0I said, “This is gonna be embarrassing”. \u00a0I went and did a better ollie than I thought I would, but compared to those two it was nothing. \u00a0A failed kickflip and a few Jeff wallrides later and we got the boot. \u00a0We ended up at a poorly lit flatbar that could be pretty epic. \u00a0Jeff got some front 50s, but the rest of us just kinda skated the parking lot which was fun too. \u00a0I got a front 180 up onto a sidewalk downhill bank. \u00a0Then Jake, Jason and I tried to ollie the flatbar. \u00a0Jake got it first. \u00a0Jason second. \u00a0Me in a very distant 3rd. \u00a0Next we ended up at this random 3 stair and weird bank spot. \u00a0Carleigh and I skated, Jason hurt his back, Jeff and Sebastian peaced out and Jake chilled. \u00a0Carleigh and I just kinda did nothing trying to make something out of the spot. \u00a0Eventually we ollied the 3 stair and I ollied onto the 2nd stair then front 180’d off. \u00a0Pretty dumb.We ended up at this spot on Colfax I’ve looked at pretty much before or after every show I’ve gone to in Denver. \u00a0The little curb up, curb up then a drop. \u00a0Jack had a cool manny late shove there forever ago. \u00a0We skate it for a long ass time, but didn’t land much. \u00a0Jake got manual the first pad, ollie up, ollie up, nollie off a grip of times. \u00a0He tried to add a treflip to it, but never got it. \u00a0Gnarly Carleigh ollied the flat gap, then slammed super hard trying it again. \u00a0I got manny, ollie up, ollie up, kickflip off. \u00a0The kickflip took sooo many tries. \u00a0One time I just went for an ollie and hit a hole and dove into the pole. \u00a0Fun. \u00a0My last run was manny, ollie up, kickflip up, front 180 bail to cops pointing at me saying time to go. \u00a0Fun night even if we didn’t skate the best downtown spots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
