I had to sell some boards to SOL after work so I went there, met up with Dean and waited for Trick Factory to show up in the Square State bus.  They took so long that I was actually able to beat Allan in a game of foosball (granted I lost about 10 games).  Then we hit the road to Fort Collins for the BBQ\/demo.  When we arrived it wasn&#8217;t that crowded, but that didn&#8217;t stop Jack and I from not skating the park.  It quickly turned to chaos and any chance I had of skating the park was crushed.  I watched for awhile.  The Lifebloods and Blood Wizards were killing it.  Especially <a href=\"http:\/\/lifebloodskateboards.com\/team\/frank-faria\/\">this dude<\/a>.  The Fort Collins locals were shredding too.  Watching skating is awesome and all, but it was super nice out and there was a perfectly good parking lot to be skated.  I think I played four or five games of SKATE total.  All with Jack, some with others included.  I could go into tedious details, but I wont.  I felt great.  Arthritis was nowhere to be found, I had energy, etc.  Super happy about that.  Jack could have easily won all the games had he done tricks like switch heel, switch flip, etc.  But he&#8217;s nice like that and would limit the tricks I couldn&#8217;t do to a couple a game.  I think I landed almost every flipper I&#8217;ve ever done.  Including a nollie tre and nollie varial flip in the same game.  Fuzz had the three basic fakie heelflip tricks and the halfcab back heel took out everyone.  It was a blast skating like this.  I landed on several fakie tres and b\/s flips, but never got either of those tricks.  Only got one treflip too.  But yeah, so much fun.  At the end I started doing slappy crooks on a curb and one of the bigwigs at Lifeblood gave me a shirt.  I&#8217;d like to think it was because he was hyped on the slappy crooks, but who knows, he probably just felt sorry for me.  I did a few kickflips at this point that felt like the best kickflips I&#8217;ve done.  Happy times.  I tried to teach Conor how to do slappy crooks and rumor has it he landed one, but it sure took him a long time.  Ha.  A bunch of Bloods piled in the bus on the way home.  Bonus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Such an awesome night.
