Where The Buffalo Roamed

I got off work and noticed this pretty cool graffiti on the side of the road.  There isn't much art going on in the suburbs, but I really enjoy these pieces.  White guilt sets in as I realize that it's my fault that the buffalo no longer thrive here.  

After contemplating how terrible I and my people have been, I picked up Shardy and we got breakfast at the revamped City O' City.

Look at that smile!

I'm backing the new look.  Nice work.

Denver Park!

After skating Denver Park for a hour, I gave Shardy a ride to work, and met up with a bunch of dorks at Dayton Park.

We drove around the area, skating some new and weird spots.  Here is a natural pyramid that really sucks.  I would not recommend trying to skate it.

This spot is pretty cool.

I'd be fine if I never skated here ever again.  Joey loves it though.

It started raining, so Zach and I proposed ice cream.  Always a delight.

Camille Was Bad

I met up with Ryan at Denver Park to catch up and skate for bit.  He brought a zucchini that he grew himself.  Quite amazing.

Big boy.

We skated over to Paris on the Platte to get some tea and enjoy each others company.  It was quite nice.

After that we skated Denver Park, and then Ryan had to go to work.  I met up with Debow and Cody to do some more skating.  Here we are at Vitamin Cottage getting our lunch on.

While we were eating outside, a man from the Associated Press asked us about our knowledge of the listeria outbreak that has stemmed from cantaloupes grown in Colorado.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, I would suggest paying more attention to what's going on in our world rather than reading my blog.  Or you can look at this article and learn about it.

A spot!

Pretty fun bank to curb thing.  Also, in the background, is the bank that Jerrod Saba taildropped in Enjoi's Bag Of Suck.

Shad came here to handle business.

After skating, Cody and I got some pizza in a nearby shopping center.

Camille must have done a bad, bad thing at the pizza place.  At least she promised to never behave like "that" ever again.

Ty Bush

Ty was in Denver for about three weeks, and stayed at my house for one of them. We had a some good times on the court outside my house.  

Later Ty.

Children on Leashes

Got to do my two favorite things this day.  Denver Park.

Chipotle.

And then onto Civic.  Always a party here.

The locals hanging out.  Eating lunch near the port-o-pottys is always a good idea.

Debow was ready for action.

But never too busy to make some new friends.

Grant, getting weird.

Kehoe and Debow were finishing each other's Jeezy lyrics.  It was beautiful moment of friendship.

Children on leashes!  Great idea!

Joey made some new friends too.  Jake and Steven were pretty cool kids, until the confessed that their favorite skater was Chaz Ortiz and they didn't know who Dennis Busenitz was.  What is happening to the youth?  We should put anyone under 18 on a leash.

Tall Ty Bush.

After Civic we went back to The Shop.  Ty wanted to "hang with his buds".

Then party time.

Group photo.  Look at how punk rock these dudes are.

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.

Tony Mellick Still Skates

Ty and I got up at 8:30 to go meet Shad and Tyler at the new Northglenn park.  Coffee was a must before.

Shad is a smiles and psyched to skate.

Shredding commenced.

Then I took my parents to the airport for their vacation.  Later you two, hopefully I don't burn the house down!

After that I cruised to The Shop.

Then a street spot.

Mike did this gap to 50-50 for Lil Wayne.  He's a big fan now.

And then we cruised out to Parker for a night session.  I mostly went because Tony said he would be there skating.  I'm just glad Cory let us skate his home turf.

Here he is!  He requested the ender in the web clip so he got it.

Tranny session!
