Oh man, finely mostly recovered from the intense skatathon with the Fremont crew. Met Fuzz around 9 on campus. We rolled to the mini bank to curb. Oh yeah, crap I had all new stuff.

New shoes (eS Theory 2s). Null board. Null supers. And for the first time in 2 years, new bearings. Wow my board was fast, the normally little hill on the way to the bank to curb actually kind of freaked me out as my board went way faster then I’m used to. Whew. After a few tries each we finally got the most basic trick there of manual around a sign. We went on to get our switch pushing and fakie/switch trick itch. Fuzz did fakie pivot all perfect. Ollieing fakie was hard for me. He also did chink chink. The best part was us pushing switch though. Fuzz took a few tries to be able to run and set his board down switch. It was so funny. He would run and was unable to not put his left leg on the board first. We stuck with it and did some stuff though. We both got switch crooks. Fuzz did switch pivot both ways. We rolled on and ended up at the tall ledge by the engineering building. We did some nose stalls and front rocks before Fuzz’s had a palpitation. Scary stuff. We walked it off. Fuzz then had to take care of some other bodily issues so I skated flat for a minute. Worked on a tech line of sw 180, kickflip, b/s 180. Never got it. Fuzz joined up and I noticed a cop so we walked off, peeped some spots, saw Sean skating, chatted, then called it a night.

Go see Matt’s photos here. They cover the day better than my words will. It’s funny that my favorite full days of skating get such bad treatment in my journal because they was so much I can never remember everything. Especially when it takes me six days to start writing it. Anyways, we started at Northglenn. We were all tired. It was really hot. My arthritis wasn’t as bad though. We started working into our tricks after awhile. The only things I really remember were Joe ripping the ledges as he always does. Eric and I getting little scratch grinds in the deep end. Me getting a grind around the corner in the shallow. Greeley Eric showing up and destroying the bowl. Jeff arriving and slaying things. 360 flip the china gap then turn around and do it switch. Insane. Then we went to a weir brick bank spot that was really hard to skate. Jeff did a lot. Lazer, Joe and I got boardslides. Then it rained. We went to No Love warehouse. It was crowded and even though everyone there is super nice I didn’t skate really. Joe ripped the ledges. Jeff slammed, but still ripped it. Next was downtown denver. We hit a couple spots for a minute before ending at this weird ledge on top of a curb spot that ended up being way harder to skate then it looked. Joe did a ton. 50, 50-180, 5-0 180 (I think), tailslide, etc. It’s hard because you have to quick up the curb and get setup right away. Not easy for me. I got a front 50 (which took forever) and some front board pop outs. Dan got tech and did a front board to hurricane. I tried a long line of 3 flip, nose manny, front board pop out. Never got all of them together. Then we hit this weird two stair spot. Dan did a line with 43 shifty, manual front 180 out. Joe did a couple tricks down. I did a front shove down. Tried to get kickflip up, b/s flip off, but struggled with the kickflip up too much. Not really sure what we did after this for awhile. Hit the jersey barrier for a minute. Hit the bank to curb for a minute. Bombed a crazy parking garage ramp right before getting to the car that hyped me up so much. It had a weird drop near the end and I think I accidently cleared it. Ha. Anyways, the fremont dudes are the best to skate with. Had so much fun. Legs needed a few days to recover ..
