After an impromptu sleep over the morning was spent going on a gnarly hike with Liz.  We got back and I straight took a nap thinking the kids would be home any minute wanting to play.  But their friends kept saying it would be awhile longer.  Screw it, no more waiting.  Nate and I bolted to Denver around 2 for a couple hours of fun.  We went to the Harley banks where within 5 minutes I slammed hard and the cops came.  Ugh.We drove downtown and parked near the rail that Monico ends the Null video with.  But we skated the mellow bank as a flat bank.  Nate did a nollie fs flip easy and got a couple switch front heels.  I was very happy to get fakie treflip and treflip fakie amonst some other tricks like first try big flip.  Super fun.  Then we rolled around hitting various spots til we would get kicked out.  Nothing really stands out other than it was fun and we skated hard.  Rad.

After a fun morning of baseball and biking with the kids I met Rob, Fuzz, Brian, Neil, Jam and Gordon at Brian’s house.  Rob, Neil and I played a couple game of SKATE that didn’t go so well.  Especially when I attempted a frontside flip and the board bounced up and nailed me in the cheek.  Ouch.The first stop was a school in Five Points where the Meta team was filming some tricks across a 3 and 4 stair thing.  I dorked around for awhile and Brian and I had a game of curb SKATE on a weird triangular parking block.  Brian did a ridiculous blunt pivot where he actually turned on the tranny of the 8″ tall curb.  Ridiculous.  I did a new trick for me.  No comply to blunt bean plant out thing.  Stupid sure.  But fun yes.  Next Neil, Fuzz, Rob, Gordon and I skated a 3 up 3 down.  Man I haven’t skated stairs in forever and the thought of putting a kickflip down wasn’t happening.Next we ended up at the green playground spot I saw at the start of the Meta teaser.  The spot ended up being a blast.  Fuzz ollied everything.  Gordon played speed racer through it.  Neil killed everything as usual.  Rob’s got crazy rad tricks.  Brian slams harder than anyone.  Me, I suck, but I did put down a line on film I’m not completely bummed on.  Jeff and the Meta dudes showed up after awhile and Jeff got a cameo trick for my part.  Neato.  Fun day.

Had about an hour to skate so bolted out the door on a windy evening with the mp3 player on shuffle.  Between the music and the wind I was really off balance.  I cruised around quite a bit never landing anything.  Not the best session ever, but I did skate and it beat not doing anything.
