After some lounging around I went to dog park to meet the crew and help with a cleanup. Cass had some bondo and we mostly did that for the first couple hours. And I’m stoked! At no point did I really skate hard and I hated my setup and shoes almost the entire time. Jesse and I played a game of SKATE that Dave would join in the middle. At one point I did fakie bigflip, halfcab flip then b/s flip in a row. But other than that I sucked it up. Jesse won once again. This time on f/s flip.

Had no motivation to skate, but needed to deliver a board in Broomfield. So I went to Broomfield park and was there for about 15 minutes before Cass arrived. I didn’t do much in that time other than a few stalls on the bank to curb. I would get a back pivot and I think front tail which I hadn’t done before. There was a dude who basically lined out a front 5-0 in the deepend of the bowl with a b/s flip down the doubleset. So yeah, I felt very out of place. But the crowd switched over quick and Cass showed so I didn’t feel so bad. I had started trying a warm up line of ollie onto the black ledge, kickflip out of the bank, front tail the bank to curb when a van full of kids showed up. And they sucked! Cass had front noseslide then front shove out of the bank before we started to have everything interrupted by a bunch of kids that didn’t care about anything other than themselves. Crooks were working for me. I was getting up into 50s but not landing them on the black ledge. Cass had some nice front 50s on the new ledge into the bank. I’m not remembering a whole lot more. We ended with a game of SKATE that was a good one for Cass and I. We landed a lot of tricks. Heelflip, halfcab flips, b/s flip, hardflip, fakie bigflip, varial flip, Cass won with fakie varial flip. During the game one of the kids almost ran into me then told me to get out of the way. I about lost it. Told him to STFU. He didn’t care at all. Those kids really sucked. It was a fun session though.

Not too motivated to skate I went to dog park to meet Mike, but he was at Valmont. After some terrible warming up for me we mostly just skated the pond area. And it was really fun. There weren’t too many kids doing the evergreeen pump track, but we were definitely still bumming people out by not just pumping through. For whatever reason I started thinking about ride on blunts and that’s how it got started for me. I actually kind of did some fs ones first. The first line took me a long time, but was really fun. Actually, the noseslide – kickflip line took me a long time too. Mike was skating the steep little qp like it was easy. The Hewitt grinds were sick, the rock fakie carve to fakie rock too. Other than those I really didn’t do much. We cruised around after and I didn’t do much.
