There are multiple old man nights on Tuesday. The bowl dudes go to Lafayette. We were going to Broomfield for awhile. But Fuzz is fed up with skateparks and wanted to get a downtown Denver mission going. This is why I love Fuzz. I had to leave a little later then everyone because of India’s ballet schedule and me needing to watch Ollie. I parked for free several blocks away from Tabor where I was to meet them. I pushed pretty fast to meet them and kind of hurt my achilles. Well, not it’s above my achilles in my calf which is probably from all the exercises I have been doing to heal the achilles. Ha, it’s a never ending circle when you’re old. I had also put my smaller Venture hangers back on. They felt great. Happy to be back.

Okay so yeah, skating. When I met up with them this was happening.

Pretty darn awesome. He was telling us about how he used to go down hills while doing hand stands. We messed around a little. Ended up in a parking lot where Blaine and I dropped in on a bank for awhile trying to get up the courage to ollie in, but we didn’t. Then we hit a fun little garage with a curb cut gap in to manny pad. It was pretty fun. We were starting to get things going when we got the boot. Doh.

We remembered to hit this spot and were blown away by how amazing it is. We skated it for a long time in different waves of sessions. I was feeling like crap on my skateboard. Hurt achilles, my shoes had no board feel, etc. Rob, Darin and I skated ledges on the far side for awhile. Rob had a nice back 50 through a corner. I was really struggling. Then we skated the hill into the spot for awhile which was super fun. Powerslides, ollies, etc. Fuzz and I ollied onto a round bench in the middle. Can’t believe Max ollied the gap. Well, my ollies up were dumb. I like the Bones wheels a lot how they slide so easy. Maybe I’ll experiment with some Spitfire 4s next. Rob had a super sick manual down the sidewalk. Blaine killed some back 180s and the best no comply 180 I’ve ever seen with one foot on for like 5 feet. Fuzz missed a manual for a beer. Unbelievable. Guess he doesn’t like beer anymore. Then we skated the main ledge you see in the photo for awhile. Darin did front, back tails, 50s, looked good. Rob did nose manual front 180 out. Fuzz had some nice back 50s, fakie front 50 with pop out or halfcab out and nose mannies. Blaine darn did a nice manual. I had some of the better crooks I’ve done in awhile. Tried a line of back 50, kickflip a puddle, then crooks. Almost had it, but instead basically rolled my ankle on the crooks. Luckily my past ankle rolls have made my ankle pretty flexible and it was ok. But I am officially done with the Romeros. They are crap. Then we hit a little spot with a cali grind then quick noseslide. Fuzz and I got it. Then we did back 50 on the middle ledge. So fun. That was basically it and we walked back to our cars. Street skating is the best.
