My virtual friday. Had another unwanted early morning wake up and went to work around 6am. Had a relatively busy day, got off work, fell asleep at home for a few minutes, hung with the kids, played football with Ollie then headed to Crisis to meet Fuzz and crew. We rolled to Denver as the Fremont, NE dudes rolled to Denver. We had a shorter drive. Ha. Connor, Blaine and Keenan were with us. We started out at a little flatbar on the corner of the art museum that I have never seen before. I was feeling really rusty and not up for committing to the 4″ tall rail. Fuzz and I didn’t do much. Keenan and Conor did. I want to skate that again. We rolled around the corner to the art museum main area that rules and surprisingly we lasted a quite a while. Blaine filmed Connor rip. Keenan ripped. Fuzz ripped it too regardless of what he says. He had a few easy front 50s on a tall ledge. I was still feeling really weird on a skateboard. Managed a few noseslides, ollies onto benches (yes those are tricks to me) and almost ollied a narrow bench (I think I would have committed had it not been for how dark it was). We eventually got the boot, Connor might have even been mad and went across to the Library which ended up being fun. We did slappy 50s to start, some wallrides to fakie, fakie wallrides. Then I came up with a brilliant line for somebody good, aka Fuzz. Nosebonk a bench then wallride fakie. Good work Fuzz. Keenan also busted out a good line. I managed to do a line badly that Connor did first try. Boardslide the short side of a bench then wallride fakie. We started dorking around setting our boards between the benches and running jumping on them to do nose/tailslide things. Eventually all four of us did it while Blain filmed it (Thanks to Keenan for taking the hard bench that involved too much tailslide). Past Civic to the grate manny pad. John joined us. We hit 7-11 for a refresher. Blaine filmed Conor work on a trick. Fuzz, John, Keenan did something else. I tried silly lines. Got one. Front 180 up the curb, halfcab flip, ollie onto the grate, ollie out, flatground kickflip moving slightly faster than normal, slam a 3 flip. Felt good. Then I joined the other dudes. Amazing how I can’t ollie 8″. John did some gap to front tails. Fuzz did something neat I can’t remember right now. Got the boot. Rolled out toward the convention center ledges. Fuzz ended up getting his sick downhill line as the Fremont heads rolled up! I managed my little gap to manny to most of the hill bomb first try too. Anyways, the Fremont dudes were here! Matt, Joe, Eric and Dan. Some of the best dudes ever. They had been in the car for 6+ hours so took a bit to get warmed up. Except Joe who called out runs immediately. Back board pop out, no comply 180, fakie big. I would eventually get it, but it was after he already did another line of boneless a manhole then front board pop out (which I also got somehow). John was ripping. Noseslide shoves, front shove revert, sw front nose. Fuzz threw down the sal flipish tailslide trick. Dan showed off casper flips. Then we went to this nearby bump or maybe just two cracks with slight angles between them. Conor did back 360 no comply first try all perfect. I went for the f/s version of it and almost accidentally did 540. That would have been funny. I tried boneless 360 and my arthritis feeling hot pocket pain kicked in so I rested a bit as did others. Joe rattled off a bunch of tricks. John went for a sick line of front shove, 3 flip, wallride. Almost got it. So sick. I failed at no comply front shoves. Some dude threw stuff out of a high story window. Strippers argued in the parking lot. The city rules. Got home around 2am. Was skating by 10:31 the next day …
