On the way to BV on a Friday afternoon we stopped by Leadville skatepark so I could get a little session in. For some reason I was excited for the park, but when I saw a large group of scooter/bike kids my excitement left. I should have probably not even skated, but I’m stubborn. I was really sore from the very long Frederick session the night before. Like incredibly sore. Like never wearing vulcs again sore. Pretty early on I was trying to get into the flow and wanting to axle stall on weird banks there and the scooter kids kept putting their scooters in the way. What started as me saying ‘come on man pay attention’ turned into these little brats laying down some great quotes. Scooter dork #1, “You cut me off, I was going to drop in”. Scooter dork #2, “Do you know who I am? My dad owns the skatepark.” I was pretty blown away and laughed it off. I mean they really want to get into it with a 50 year old man? Idiots. So I tried my best to just avoid them. Only did a few of things I was remotely proud of. Some okay bump to noseslides, first try front 50 the little qp, a line of front 50 180 out the little ledge then switch front board the tiny round bar. Lastly I was trying to noseslide the bottom of the 3 tier ledges which was quite tall and I would get one to fakie that was long enough I went into the bank and it was fun.
