It was Fuzz’s bachelor party day! As people gathered at Crisis John and I skated a parking block in front of the store for about an hour. It was really fun. John did some crazy stuff like bean plants, no comply to tail the far curb to disaster the parking block and kind of learned slappy crooks. I did a few slappy crooks to shove out, a quick slappy front crook fakie, the best bean plant to primo land I could do (ha we were laughing so hard when I went down). We did a lot of tricks and had fun goofing around.

After the Coors tour we hit a mini ramp for a bit. I’m not sure if the crowds or the beers I’d drank kept me off the ramp more, but after a couple failed axle stalls I bailed out. Brian, Neil, Dean, John and Fuzz killed it.

Last was a session at the Nederland park. I was clearly too intoxicated to skate well and was probably risking it skating at all. Not sure how Fuzz can shred so hard after so many beers. But he did. Front tail over the flyout, front carve over the love seat, a bunch more. Brian had the craziest trick of the day with a weird 270 slide on the helmet to crazy sideways roll in that ruled. Dean carved over the love seat. Chad ollied up the step up. Jack did a bunch of pole jams. John slayed it and had a gnarly pivot fakie at the end of the session. I mostly just dorked around and at the end did the weird drop in into the step up that everyone else was doing followed by a b/s flip on the bank. Pretty fun. Off to camping. Read/see more on Jack’s blog here.

UPDATE ** I should probably go into a bit more details of how fun it was to skate with everyone at Nederland. Skating with TF is too infrequent these days, but when we do it’s a blast. I should also mention that camping was also a blast and to check Jack’s blog for proof of the awesomeness.

Got out of work at a decent time on Friday and picked up Ollie as he said he was down to go skating. He’s about a once every two weeks kinda skater know. Better then nothing, but he sure has a blast when he does it. We went to “Stonehenge”. I had a new board!

Love it. Ollie and I did rock ‘n rolls first try. Then he did a rock fakie. So impossible there as the ground is really rough and I’m too heavy and get caught in the holes (great excuse eh?). I couldn’t do a back 50 for like 5 tries. It was almost bumming me out so I just started rattling off other basics and it all worked out. Ollie also did a few front rocks (seen at the top of dis here blog entry). We also kind of lined it out and did some tricks from the loading dock into mini bank and came around to the bank to curb. Ollie tried switch front 180s for a bit, but couldn’t quite get it. Good thing since that trick took me forever to learn some ~20 years ago (wow).

We hit the back loading dock area too. Ollie did some ollies and got a back 180 off. I did some ollies too over a little gap and weed and a switch front 180 that took a few tries. We goofed off quite a bit and had lots of fun.
