GSD ft collins

Two years ago I was in Longmont for Crisis' & Denver for 303's events. Last year was Asheville for PUSH's event. This year it was Ft. Collins for the Market's event @ Edora Park - the OG skatepark of the city.

the MARKET got the bbq going

got to hang with ANGELO - a former WSVT & Route 44 local

follow LAUNCH on insta to see a short vid of the HK concert

frolf & high dive

out for my morning ride, I rolled by the ALL/Descendents studio

never linked up with their limited hours

Ft. Collins is a bikers town!

free banana from FNB denver & hydroponic strawberries from Boulder frm MKT

met up with MATT & we rode to edora

Matt brought two discs, but chose the BEAST

I'm not going to use the term FROLF very often - frisbee/golf

his putting game got better as the day wore on

long shot

Matt followed my lead and we snuck right into the EDORA pool

the first belly flop only got his chest this RED

this he took his perfect form to the high platform

major splashdown

results - maybe the pictures don't do it justice

my backflip from the high

matt was off to work and I was off to do some skateboarding on JUNE 21st.

before/after

before the session, I tracked down my cousin MATT @ his new job

stopped by the FOOD COOP and the gal was making buttons

Karen made me some special buttons

and she turned out to be involved with the Hammertime Project

 Karen was super connected and invited me to a concert at the art gallery where Hammertime Project was now residing. Turns out they are losing the space and this was going to be their last event.

excited to see containers being reused for bulk items

Avo's makes their own tempeh now!

after the session, I biked over to the show Karen told me about

didn't catch her name, but it was nice

this fella asked my permission to play...imagine that

all good things come to an end. hopefully there will be a rebirth

the lending library was amazing

the zine library looked a bit picked over, but I was glad to take one last look

so much rich literature

so much knowledge to soak up

I found this in the free bin and it turned out to be what I thought it would be

a handful of copies of the latest SLINGSHOT - highly recommended

I called it a night after saying my mental goodbyes to a wonderfully giving organization and ideal. Chatted up Karen who was working the door and then back to the van for some shut eye.

OLD MAN NIGHT @ Launch

was so pleased to be able to attend an old fart night

andy got the 1st carve up the new addition

outside the creative center

a creation inside the creative center

walk into to find Roth & Fuller had driven up from Boulder

didn't take long for the session to get going...Neil carve grind

I hadn't done a back D revert in a while

Roth punched out to tail.

Roth got the MVP award for this Crailslide on the oververt

I took some time to get creative and upgrade my sleeping quarters

a few cuts & a few screws

final product is a wider sleeping birth

Roth's best attempt at a Salad Grind

Bailey, a bunch of Bourne, JJ, Karma, Bourne, Julien, JT
