Here I Am

No updates for a while.  Here's what has happened lately:  

-Finished school, which went really well.  One more semester and then I'll have graduated.  

-Skating has not been going well, mostly due to snow, snow, and snow. 

-I've been working, hanging out, and shoveling spots only to have them snowed on shortly after.  I need to get out of Colorado soon.

In positive news, the DVD of the new Denver Shop video is done.  Premier is in one week!

Feels good!

I also looked at the new thrasher while I was in The Shop.

David coming through with a sick ad, shot by Ty Bush!

Abdias also killing it, with another ad by Ty Bush.  Get paid Ty!

This rail looks so fun. Rails....mmmmmmmmmm.

I'm going to Wisconsin until Tuesday, then I'll be back for the premier December 29th!

Holes

I got off work and met up with Abdias, Ty, Debow, and Kehoe at this gem of a spot.

Kehoe looking cool.

Me blogging Ty blogging.  Check out his photos of this day here.

Media after-party.  Good work everyone!

Noodles is delicious.

Nobody busted this thing on this day.

More food.

I forgot to take a lot of photos, so there are major holes in my documentation.  Oh well.

Half-Day

Joey, Shardy, and I went to City O' City for breakfast.  They serve the best chai.

After that we went to Greenwood Village Skatepark.  It is, and forever will be, terrible.

Jesse was there.

And Owen.

This was the only cool thing that happened there.  Backflip!

Smoke break outside Taco Bell on the way to Parker.

So fun!

David killed it.

Then my camera died.  Bummer wave.

The Piano Man

I met up with Max, Aaron, and Buck at Swift's for some breakfast.  They informed me about the new HeyTell phenomenon.  Pretty interesting stuff.

 After that we cruised over to Buck's, where he played the piano and we both sung great hits like Vienna by Billy Joel and Your Song by Elton John.  He's quite talented.

Denver Park with Aaron and Max.  Aaron's homemade Kansas City Chiefs shirt was turning heads.

Game of S-K-A-T-E to start things off.

Max got some insane lines here.

Then we went to Auraria to skate.  I was in spectator mode.

Max let me wear his hat for a minute.

What to do!?

Mike figured it out and got a really good one.  Great job Mikey!

Right after the session ended my homie showed up.

After we were done skating we went to Streets of London/Famous Pizza.  Aaron asked me to order an entire pizza for him and Max and bring it over to Streets.  While I waited for Aaron's pizza to cook, I ate my own slices.

Aaron and Max were really excited about eating a fresh Famous pizza inside Streets, which houses it's own pizzeria.  When Aaron grabbed the condiments from Streets to use on his Famous pizza, the guy came over and told him that if he wanted to eat a pizza from somewhere else he could use their condiments.  It was pretty hilarious.

 David beat Abdias in pool three times.  Face of a champion.

 Kehoe bought some rocks that he was pretty proud of.

Skated this school for a couple of minutes.

 And then we went to Denver Park to skate with Derek one last time before he moves to Los Angeles.

Sad to see you go Derek.  

Back To Skating

I off my plane and pretty much headed straight to Denver Park.

We headed to this rail.

Ernie and John were chilling for a bit.

And then Ernie nailed this sweet caveman.

Abdias and David checked it out.

David with a role reversal.

More rails!

Big set!

These two weren't feeling the 13.

But Ernie was!

"So...where do we go now?"

 Another rail.

 And then one more.

David nailed a quick bondo job.

I rewarded myself with some ice cream.

 Joey and a sun-burned Mason met up to indulge with me.
