It is with great honor that I’ve been a part of this. A new Colorado based skate magazine. Full color. Full size. Deano is the man in charge and making it happen. We should have the first issue in our hands in a day or two. So excited!

In a good mood and not super tired for once. Dropped off some stuff for Max and Jack at Meta then rolled into campus. Omi was at the hill ledges (imagine that). I said I, he said hi, then he did a long noseslide on the bottom ledge and I moved on. I did some carves/warmup pumps (yeah I kind of have to do that these days) on the little curb cut down the hill about two buildings. After that I got into a zone of trying a line down the sidewalk. Fakie ollie up, halfcab flip, b/s flip off. I struggled with every trick involved. I tried going faster than normal for the fakie ollie and you know how speed and me get along. I got the line twice, but the first time every trick was so bad I even I couldn’t count it. The second time the b/s flip was the only trick that I felt wasn’t up to par. But I hit a rock right before I ollied and somehow still landed it so I left it at that laughing. I was dorking across the way on an angled loading dock trying to do side rock ‘n roll kickflip out when Max, Sean and Dean showed up. Max offered me $20 in five tries. Got it on the fifth try! Getting paid yo! In reality though Max bought a board and he owed me $20. Ha. After that I ollied the crappy crack ridden 3 stair above it and did the side rock flip out again (way less perfect this time). I wanted to do flippers and forced myself to land a treflip in this weird section of sidewalk. It took a long time and I put a hand down on the landing. Oh well. Last stop was the hill ledges for a it. Did front 5-0 on the top one, back noseslide on the downhill one and tried to 50 the bottom one, but couldn’t gather the motivation/courage/pop to get on a normal sized ledge. Ha. I had a blast though. The weather was great, even a little humid and it felt good to be out skating, sweating and listening to some good tunes.
