skate journal: Big arvada, little arvada, boulder ditch, arapahoe school with the fremont crew (June 1, 2012)
Posted in Skate Journal on June 7th, 2012 by corpoOh man I was so sore/tired from skating Denver so late the night before. We went to Arvada park after a nice big breakfast. I waited to long to update this so remember all that went down is virtually impossible. Luckily Matt took about a million photos which are RIGHT HERE. See, that’s better than my boring words! Um, where to begin. Oh, well for starters the city was there trying to make the park as clean as possible for their big grand opening party and they were spraying water everywhere. So stupid. We skated the bank to curb a lot. We skated that whole area the most I think. My arthritis/hot pocket pain was kind of intense preventing motivation to ollie/land tricks. Brian, Neil and Lazer showed too. Some dude doing pivot fakie on the big blue thing said “I couldn’t live my life without skate socks”. That was funny. Since this is my journal I’ll just say what I was happy about. Front d the bank to curb. Front 50 the rainbow ledge. Noseslide the rainbow ledge.
GO LOOK AT MATT’S PICTURES ALREADY. Next was little Arvada. That park RULES. I think I did 4 tricks first try I’ve never even tried before over the spine within 5 minutes of being there. halfcab 50 to fakie was one. back 50 stall which turns into front 50 then to fakie. Some other tricks. Had a blast here. Everyone killed it.
After lunch we went to Boulder ditch. Eric struggled for feeble to fakie and got it. Joe boardslid and front 50d the box. I struggled for front feeb on the qp and got it. Hyped. Next was the school out on Arapahoe where my body had basically given up. Dan got a cool manny trick. Joe got some bangers. Matt even manualled around in his cast. Really fun day.
