On a really hot afternoon I met Dave after work at the good ol’ shady Wilville. I had started on my 8.3 with Ace lows, but quickly swapped out for my 8.25 with 5.8 ventures. Anyway, pretty quickly we got into some difficult physical/mental challenges. Riding off the levels of the ledges was way harder than I imagined. I cannot believe Dave did all 3, that was bonkers. Backside no less. We also did some ollies onto the ledge. Dave more frontside coming from the manny pad side and then went into nose manual. I think in a long line with a nollie back 180 off the curb and then a halfcab flip. He did like 5 halfcab flips! I sketchily ollied straight on a few times. I had a few flippers. Then we really settled in to tricks off the curb to start lines. It’s hard with little setup and the fallen debris from the tree. I had done a few pop shoves before settling in on starting with kickflips. Dave had to leave but managed to manual and nose manual into the bank first. I setup my phone and went in on kickflip then treflip then hopefully 180 onto the ledge but I never got a treflip. They were close, but never got one. Doh. Really fun session though, we skated hard.

Went to Broomfield park on a hot morning to meet Nullers and Cass. To my surprise when I pulled up Blaine came running up to say hello. It was so great seeing him and catching up. I went on to skate like dookie. I had changed to 5.6 axles and hated it. The only good thing I did was beat Cass in SKATE ending with a heelflip. Sean, Garrett, Joe all killed it. Cass had some moves too. Great seeing Blaine skate as well.

Then we went to Cole in Denver where I had hoped to ollie up the 3, but instead I didn’t even try and ended up just filming for a long time in the hot sun just baking away. It was fun though. I like getting out in the streets.
