Dave and I met Simon at the DIY slab spot in Denver on a gorgeous day. Dave and I were obviously pretty sore and tired. But it seemed like things were gonna go pretty good as we warmed up. Somebody had thrown a monster size candle onto the concrete so I joke waxed the curb. Well, I did actually wax it, just not as bad as it looks in the photo. 50s on the curb were super fun. Simon was ripping the parking block and ledge area. Good combos like halfcab boardslide then front noseslide, nollie front tail the ledge front baord the parking blocks. Etc. I joined him and was feeling good enough that I actually tried to 50 the ledge (it’s tall!). Ha. I’ve been there a few times before and have never even tried the 50. I got no pop. So yeah, things were going good it seemed until Simon slammed hard and ripped his palm open. So we all just chilled for awhile. Simon tried to get it going, but it just wasn’t happening. Understandable. Dave and I skated the ledge/blocks area awhile longer. Dave tried boardslide to feeble on the parking blocks. I posed kickflip boardslides which felt remotely doable. Then we went back to the manny pad area (above). Dave kind of tried to hippy jump a tire out of a really janky setup. I did a few tricks over a little gravel gap then back 50s on the curb. Also kickflip up the curb and 360 flip off (first try!). Then we setup hosercam and recorded us try manuals for an hour. Dave got a couple manual body varials out that were pretty sick. I tried kickflip manuals forever. I didn’t think I landed any, but going back through the footage I actually did do one. Ha. Rad. Dave and I left very exhausted.

Got out of work early on a cool day and drove to some crappy parking lot to skate flatground while I wait for Dave to get off work. The parking lot was rough and I started off very poorly. It took awhile to land a kickflip. But the tricks did come. I skated slower then normal probably. It felt cold. I got kickflips, heelflip, halfcab flip, fakie bigflip, treflip and somehow nollie treflip.

So great to see #nullumni member @sweetmalarkey ripping at Northside last night!

Then after the drive to Fort Collins and some grub at Chipotle we went to Northside in the cold. Chris Jones was there! Man it ruled seeing him. My warm up was too film him do the line above. It was funny because he slammed hard a few times and said “It’s just like old times right Glen?” Ha. I saw Dave rolling around the park doing some quarterpipe tricks and cruising the ramp area. Chris and Pat left and then I cruised around for awhile and was hyped to roll in a couple times into the ramp area and wanted to do it a bunch more, but out of nowhere a bunch of people came and kind of killed that. I ended up mostly just slowly skating the ledge under the china bank. Front 50s, crooks, switch noseslide shove out and one horribly slow back 50. Dave got the back 50 sooner then me, front 50, noseslide. I saw him to a couple pivot to rock ‘n roll on the quarterpipe.

More skating! Ladd and Nolan were at Launch as well as a few older guys. It was fun. Ladd had a bunch of huge frontside ollies, front tails, back ds, front smiths, he can shred. I skated it alright for me, did the same ol’ stuff until the end when I took a long time to get a hurricane. Dave skated the ramp super good, maybe the best I’ve seen him skate it. The mute and backside airs were the highlights of course, but he had so many tricks. A lot of different sweeper / bean plant combos. I don’t know what most of them are, but he did a lot. Speaking of a lot of tricks Nolan did more unique tricks in every run then I did all night. I wouldn’t know even where to begin to document it. Just imagine every trick. Super fun night of skating.
