A few weeks ago we were skating the DIY spot in Denver when asked to skate around the making of a GWAP video. Well, here it is! I’m especially proud of how real my slam looks. Well, except that they made me goofy footed, but I’ll forgive them.

Went and saw the early showing of Dumb and Dumber To with my kids, then had a lunch date at Wahoos with them. The movie was very good. I dropped them off at 2:30, grabbed my board and split to find some dry concrete. It was only about 28 degrees, but the sun was nice. I drove for a bit, but found this spot. Initially I was really bumming on it. There was a lot of water, salt, sand all over the place. But I just kept skating and told myself to enjoy the sun. It ended up being incredibly fun. It kicked in when I got a line of ollieing off the low part of the dock on the left over some snow and into a puddle, did a kickflip on flat, ollied a puddle and did a little wallride to fakie on the narrow banked beam. Cool. Then I went for it again and added a b/s flip and switch 180 to the mix. Then I skated flat for awhile. I couldn’t do a treflip to save my life. Well, I landed a lot of them, but kept putting my hand down. It was driving me nuts. There was so much sand around my foot kept slipping all over the place. I tried to ollie off the left part of the right loading dock. Man it was tall. Committed at one point and slid out. Made myself do a treflip before committing again which took a long time to do it without touching my hand, but once I did I hiked up and did the ollie. Well, it was one of those ollies that probably looks more like I just fell off the loading dock. Oh well, it was tall for me and landing even hurt a little. I had done quite a few other flat ground tricks in between treflip poses. Then I started down the long driveway with curbs on both sides. The right side has angle iron on it and was insanely slick. I did little lines of slappy front tail then boardslide the end. It was really fun. I tried to add an ollie up onto the driveway too, but didn’t have the pop. Oh well, it was fun. I love skating random street spots.
