Beginner Sunday

Today marked the month anniversary of me not skating.  Worst month ever.  So I decided that I would try to skate again.  The doctor said, "stay off of it for up to six weeks".  So, four weeks must be fine.  And it was!  I skated with knee-brace, didn't try anything to fancy, and everything feels fine.  Probably another two weeks before I'm fully going for it again, but until then I'll be casually cruising around a rebuilding my strength.

I met up with Shardy at City O' City for breakfast.  Love that place.

All our friends were going to Boulder to film, but we decided to check out the new Arvada park instead. Awesome place!  So much fun stuff to skate there.

We filmed some mess around stuff.  If I look super janky on my board, it's because I am.  Skating with a knee brace is weird.  I'm not as good as Ryan "Robo-leg" Lybarger.

After seeing way too many scooters and other dorks at Arvada, we decided to head to Broomfield park.  We stopped by Crisis on the way there to say, "What's up" to Jeremy. Great dude.  Jam was there too!

I glanced at the new Thrasher.  Shad Spencer all up in it!  So psyched to see my friends in magazines.  Excellent work Ty and Shad.

Broomfield park.  I should've filmed Shardy nollie flip the double set, but I didn't.

On the way home we stopped by Mason's Starbucks and chatted for a bit.

Then I came home and got on my piano practice.

Totally manageable.

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.
