skate journal: parking garage fun with Chadman (Oct 5, 2012)
Ran some boards to 303 in Denver and it started to rain. Chadman was down to skate so we went to a parking garage that the fine dudes at 303 recommended. Chadman got a nice kickflip manual to hill bomb before I could even ollie then we got the boot. Doh, the garage looked epic. We walked to one we saw nearby that wasn’t so epic, but it had concrete and slick parking blocks so what more do you need? Chadman did his best to shoot is board into the wall after ever boardslide attempt. Pretty bad Chad. Ha. It was only 34 degrees outside according to my phone, so pretty darn cold. But we skated and had fun. Chad did some crazy lines ollieing parking blocks into a narrow space between the blocks and the wall then do a trick on them. Fakie ollie one to f/s halfcab boardslide was tight. Also the wallride into the sketchy wet downhill was gnarly. I didn’t have much for tricks. Managed a couple halfcab boardslides to fakie, bluntslides, kickflips over a manhole and b/s 90 flips off a little bump. We ended with a couple games of SKATE. Chadman killed me on the first one with impossible tricks like switch heel and hardflip. No repeats on the second one which I beat him with sketchy tricks like treflip to skier landing, etc. We had fun.
