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.  Jeff and his buddy Sebastian went first and did some fast and huge ollies.  Jake and I kinda looked at each other and laughed.  I said, “This is gonna be embarrassing”.  I went and did a better ollie than I thought I would, but compared to those two it was nothing.  A failed kickflip and a few Jeff wallrides later and we got the boot.  We ended up at a poorly lit flatbar that could be pretty epic.  Jeff got some front 50s, but the rest of us just kinda skated the parking lot which was fun too.  I got a front 180 up onto a sidewalk downhill bank.  Then Jake, Jason and I tried to ollie the flatbar.  Jake got it first.  Jason second.  Me in a very distant 3rd.  Next we ended up at this random 3 stair and weird bank spot.  Carleigh and I skated, Jason hurt his back, Jeff and Sebastian peaced out and Jake chilled.  Carleigh and I just kinda did nothing trying to make something out of the spot.  Eventually we ollied the 3 stair and I ollied onto the 2nd stair then front 180’d off.  Pretty 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.  The little curb up, curb up then a drop.  Jack had a cool manny late shove there forever ago.  We skate it for a long ass time, but didn’t land much.  Jake got manual the first pad, ollie up, ollie up, nollie off a grip of times.  He tried to add a treflip to it, but never got it.  Gnarly Carleigh ollied the flat gap, then slammed super hard trying it again.  I got manny, ollie up, ollie up, kickflip off.  The kickflip took sooo many tries.  One time I just went for an ollie and hit a hole and dove into the pole.  Fun.  My last run was manny, ollie up, kickflip up, front 180 bail to cops pointing at me saying time to go.  Fun night even if we didn’t skate the best downtown spots.
