Yeah

It's the first time I've gotten to skate in a week and a half (due to snow).  Denver Park was mostly wet, but we made do.  Good to get back on the board. 

Ryan and I at Lenny's

Then I went to The Shop. Paul and I watched Eastern Exposure 3.

We got new hoodies at The Shop.  Pretty cool!  We also got this same design as a shirt.

Then I went and booked the Mayan for the premier.  So psyched, it's officially going to happen!

Reality check.  I'm only done with 4 out of 5 classes, and of course the last class left is the most important one.  30 page paper on Woolf, due Monday.  Hopefully I'll get that Summa!

Windy

Met up with these turds at Denver Park.

We tried to skate some stuff in Capital Hill, but weren't really feeling any of the spots up there.  And it was super windy, which I tried to capture in this photo.

This spot.  Whitney rejoices.

Joey did a J Greer impression.

Messed around on this baby rail in an enclosed area (no wind).

Shardy nailed this caveman.  Overall, wasn't a very exciting day for skating.

Then I went to the Denver Film Festival.  Paul got me free tickets, popcorn, and soda.  Thanks Paul, you da best!

Broken Hands and Vomit

I had a my last midterm Friday morning, so I celebrated by getting a really good meal at Vitamin Cottage.  Vegan enchiladas and kombucha.  

After lunch I met up with Ryan at Denver Park.

He was killing it!

The Greer's showed up too.

We checked out this spot.  There's a couple options here.  It's always fun to at least try to skate new things.  It gets pretty hard when you skate the same city all the time, but there is definitely stuff around if you're willing to look and try.

Classic spot, although this day is for sure my most memorable moment here.  Justin was trying a trick on the hip, and after trying it for a bit he had a meltdown, throwing his board and screaming.  We've all been there, but this time was particularly interesting because he chose to punch a concrete pillar at the spot.  He broke his hand, and was immediately in pain, and definitely couldn't skate anymore...

He begins walking away from the hip, and starts throwing up everywhere!  Here's proof!

He laid down after a while, lit up a cigarette and some of the devil's lettuce, and was feeling a bit better.  Lesson learned the hard way J-Greer.  But definitely a new classic story.

After that I went to The Shop.  Tony and Whitney hard at editing.

While they were doing stuff, I looked at the new Thrasher.  Such a good one!

David has a new ad.

Grant Taylor kills it!  Skating the middle of a rail!? Wow.

This photo is insane.  I didn't really get it until I read the caption.  He gaps out past that curb.  He must have been going so fast to clear that distance.  So good!

Tony updated his iPhone and was freaking out that he lost his Angry Birds app.  Old people should not use technology.

Then I caught dinner with Whitney, Paul, and Alex.  The dinner conversation was hilarious.

Also, rumor is The Denver Shop has a semi-locked down premier date of December 29th at The Mayan.  3 years in the making, I'm very excited about this.

What Did the Cake Say to the Duck?

I went and visited my Dad at work.  He's always killing it.  If anyone in Colorado needs a house, he's your guy.

New tires, 600 or so dollars later.  Gotta pay to play, or something.

Then I went to the post office to mail Noel a package of anthrax.

The Shop, always popping off with DU bros.

Then I met Paul at Steve's, an awesome hot-dog joint on Colfax.  The customer can substitute any dog with a veggie dog.  Awesome!  Thanks for the recommendation Paul.

The Man and some food.

Then we cruised to Dayton Park.

After skating I went over to do some tutoring with the kids at Mercy House.  Noelia wrote my name out in wood blocks.

Very well done.

 Then ice cream with Mason!

After that I cruised home and looked at the thank-you letters the kids made me.  I'm really glad that I have the opportunity to work with these kids, and I suggest everyone try some sort of new volunteering experience.  I'm sure you're all busy, but you'll be amazed with the experiences and feelings you get exposed to.

Noelia tells me this same joke every week.  Super funny!

Whiteney

Ty and I skated Greenwood Village park, the home turf of Derek Milton and Greg Knight.  After about 15 minutes I was over it.

Then we went to the inferior version of Chipotle to meet up with Cory.  They did have this crazy Coke machine though.

Raspberry, Vanilla, Lime, Orange, and/or Cherry flavored Coke. Amazing.

The future is here.

Ty's face of confusion as he realizes that we aren't at Chipotle.

After that we cruised to The Shop to see Tony.

Ty decided to do some hood rat stuff.

Changed Whitney's name.  Very clever Ty.

Paul Gardner was at The Shop too. Always a pleasure.

This spot.

Buncha dorks.

Kehoe nailed it.
