\"\"My 300 day reward – new shoes. \u00a0Es Square Twos.The Lafayette skatepark opened today and there was a big grand opening party. \u00a0I am not a fan of crowded skateparks, or even a fan of crowds really. \u00a0Luckily there are some who agree with me. \u00a0Jack called, Jason called and Mikey and Jeff wanted to meet up in Denver. \u00a0I brought Ollie along and we met up at the Commerce City skatepark around 1 or so. \u00a0It was cold. \u00a0Colder than it felt like it should be. \u00a0And the park has some weird new glaze of slickness on it. \u00a0Jason slammed right away and retired to the car for the rest of the day. \u00a0Jack and I started out with a game of SKATE on the banked curb surrounding a tree. \u00a0I doubt they ever intended anyone to skate it, but we do everytime we’re there. \u00a0It’s pretty dumb. \u00a0Jack of course won with a bunch of good tricks like blunt shove to nosepick, pivot fakie, etc. \u00a0I landed some tricks though that made me happy like front blunt (no pivot!), kickflip onto the curb, boardslide. \u00a0It was fun. \u00a0Ollie seemed to be having a good time and digging the park. \u00a0He did some drop down to manual down one stair to ride down another then ollie off the third. \u00a0Some little ollies over the pump bump too. \u00a0And always a smile. \u00a0Love it. \u00a0Mikey was ripping. \u00a0I saw switch heel the long three stair, back 5-0 the long three ledge and a smile. \u00a0Jeff, always ripping. \u00a0Nollie back 180 into the bank, powerslide on the icecrete, halfcab crooks. \u00a0Jack had did a nosebonk to manual front 180 off the drop. \u00a0Ollies from the top of the park into the little bank no problem. \u00a0Funny back 50 to 90 onto a curb to ollie out. \u00a0Toward the end people were trying lines ollieing over the two benches. \u00a0Jeff almost got a switch b\/s flip up one, mikey almost sw heeled one. \u00a0I ollied in the small spots. \u00a0I guess the quest to learn how to ollie is officially on. \u00a0It’s really embarrassing.The sun came out and we rolled to a loading dock kicker that Mikey wanted to bust before they put a rail on it (will probably happen this week). \u00a0Ollie and I dorked around for a bit, I did a gap to boardslide down a parking block. \u00a0Jeff chilled and proved that he has no kid filter around Ollie. \u00a0Jason read. \u00a0Mikey ollied the kicker to get warmed up then felt out a few tricks. \u00a0Jack starting trying bigger spins and was getting super close. \u00a0Unfortunately disaster struck and he rolled his ankle bad. \u00a0Doh. \u00a0Mikey went for treflips for awhile, but the wind, cold and Jeff wanting to leave didn’t help.We left for Crisis to sell some Null and see Fuzz, but on the way we hit up the nearby handicap double bank spot. \u00a0Just me and Ollie skated. \u00a0It was real cold. \u00a0I guess the new shoes had been doing pretty good as I hadn’t really noticed before this spot that I had new shoes on. \u00a0I dorked around for awhile. \u00a0Felt out the trick I want to film there sometime (side rock kickflip out to manual down) but wasn’t feeling that. \u00a0Then settled for a run of kickflip, no comply 180, fakie ollie on one bank, f\/s ollie on another bank. \u00a0That came remotely easy. \u00a0Well, if you count what I did as ollies. \u00a0Since that came pretty quick and I wasn’t really feeling like anything else I went for the same line some more, but tried fakie flip on the bank instead. \u00a0I eventually got it. \u00a0I’m sure I did it all pretty horribly, but it was fun. \u00a0Ollie wasn’t complaining about the cold at all. \u00a0He rules to skate with. \u00a0Smiles the entire time, never complains, never takes it series, and always learns something. \u00a0He saw me do a side rock on the bank and I think he did one within two tries. \u00a0So rad. \u00a0I wish Jack and Jason could have skated there too, oh well. \u00a0We went to Crisis and hung out for awhile, ate some pizza, watched the new Toy Machine video and everyone made sure to drop several F Bombs. \u00a0It sure is weird being a father sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
