Too Cold Still

I had off this past Saturday and didn't have any homework.  So I picked up Shardy and we went to check out the remodeled Washington Park, home of that semi-famous 9 stair rail.

Geese!

New set.  The rails are pretty tall and aren't really skate-able, but doing tricks over the side rails would work well.

Tricks down the 9 stair would work, but the middle rail isn't skate-able and the side rail is knobbed.  The knobs look semi-easy to take off though if anyone is really interested in that.

After that we went to The Denver Shop to hang out with Tony.

It was below freezing, but it had been so long since we skated that a flat bar, box, and flatground in a parking garage sounded good.  The session kind of sucked though, I couldn't really feel my toes.  Thanks to Andy and Travis for bringing the obstacles though.  Some skating is better than no skating.

The box.

After our session we hung out at Viva Burrito.  Horchata!

Joey points out the bullet holes in the window.

Classic Viva.

Greeley

David met me in Thornton as  I got off work so that we could begin a journey to the desolate town north east of Denver known as Greeley.  

When we arrived in Greeley, we found these hooligans chilling at some perfect ledges.  I was wondering why everyone wasn't skating, but I soon discovered that skating ledges in 100 degree heat sucks.

Ryan got two tricks here before we even showed up!

I skated the ledges for what felt like two hours.  It was not fun.  Thanks to Brando for sticking through the heat and filming all of us.

After I was done skating a couple of us decided to run through the sprinklers to cool off.  Poor mans Water World.

Rainbows!

I've never been to this restaurant before.  Ryan bought my burrito here, although I should've bought his for killing it.  Next time!

The gateway...

to a really good set.

David warms up.

But Shardy was the one who walked away with a banger on this thing.  People are going to be so psyched to see his part.

There are only three spots (that we know of/ go to) in Greeley, and we always go to them in the same order.  Ledges, 10 stair, bump.

Whitney got emo, but these two kept it positive and walked away with a trick each on the bump.  If you're counting, that's two tricks for Shardy and three for Ryan in one day!  Nice work guys!
