Met up with Hayden, Bo, Noè, Zach and Connor at the og prefab Loveland park. It was worse than I remember. Bo and Noè ripped it though. Bo with the mega pop. Noè doing impossible flippers on the steep metal qp.

Then we rolled 100 feet to the pole jam/bank to rock/curb spot. It was weirder than anticipated. Hayden’s pole jam was awesome. I felt super odd on my board, but would finally start doing tail stalls which were fun and the shove out felt so great because of the mini stairs in the roll away. Then we went to a nearby gate to hill bomb that you could grind. Hayden and Bo 50’d it. Noè and Connor did a million flip tricks into the “hip”.

Then we went to this amazing spot we’ve eyed for years right off 287. It of course was infinitely harder to skate than it looks. The rough asphalt surrounding it makes it hard to judge speed, the knobs aren’t good either. That didn’t stop Hayden from doing a sick pop shove manual super casually. Noè did nose manual nollie flip before I had even ollied up. He also went on to learn switch manual switch flip out. Bo had a cool manual to back lip. Connor had a crazy crook shove. I took forever to do a kickflip to fakie from the upper level down one level. I did have a fun line though of bump to crooks then curve around and kickflip into a bank.
