It is looking likely I'll be relocating from MI to Denver. After googling, it looks like there are really nice parks and shops. How are the cops about skating as transportation? And am I safe to assume there is some insane hill bombing to be done there? Thanks in advance for any advance info, and I'm really psyched for this.
-
hmmmmm? from MI to CO let me ask do you have triple the income? the spots to live as in Capital hill area Colfax Ave are "hipster trash" if you have decent money and a plethora of income you do you. It was around 05' to 09' it was decent to live there within a minimum wage since the weed legalization it has tripled the rent.
Skating cops aren't too worried about shit, just not down 16th street mall. Parks there's a plethora of parks that gives the NW a run for it's money. If you can try to find a place outside of the city Golden was cheap and close to the mountains.
There's plenty to skate and DIY spots for sure checkout 303 boards, they've got you covered without kook weirdo bullshit, if you see any of those WETBOYS guys punch in the dick and focus their board.

Yeah the job comes with a pay increase to cover cost of living. Thanks for the info man, and now you have me curious about "wet boys" lol. Is that like a weird skater posse?

yeah it started with Ernie Torres Angel Ramirez and a few other decent recognized skaters, the joke was a porn ad phone line with a dude that very oddly looked similar to Mike V. at one point someone photoshopped a picture of Mike V on a couple flyers looking super sexual. The dudes in the crew are kinda dumb your atypical douchebags that like talk about pussy.

I lived off colfax a few years ago in a pretty nice place for a decent price. It did seem to be getting a little overpopulated when i moved away though so the cost of living may be different now. skating is pretty good there though in terms of cops. I did quite a bit of street skating while i was there and the only time i ever had a problem was on 16th st mall, and even then if you skate fast enough youre good down the whole time, not to mention the free mall ride that takes you from one end to the other. Only reason that even mattered to me was cause i lived on the east side of the city and d park is directly on the other side of 16th st mall. Lots of super good parks there, probably two team pain parks for every park built by someone else. definitely worth the move if you ask me, just be ready for stupid amounts of traffic
edit: also fuck 303 forever. dumbest shop ive ever been to. get vibes every time you walk in and walk around until they try to sell you the latest rictas or some shit. if you want an actual skateshop go to emage. Its like a 5 minute skate from d park and theyre so much better its painful

I was living on Colfax in the apt complex behind good times burger across from Argonauts liquor.
Eventually I found a basement space below the Wetboyz house, my exgf was a shit person who cheated constantly while I was at work.

I've never felt vibed at 303. If anything, they have gone out of their way to pull all the decks of my size in a pile for me to go through. They are the ones doing video premieres and shit. Plus they got David Reyes and Windsor James. Did emage foster anyone who went on to bigger things? (not saying that is what skating is all about)
Maybe I'm not paying enough attention. Does emage do things like video premieres, organize demos, have a solid team, and the other important community stuff?

well ill start with max garson rides for emage. They just put a video out within the last three months made by a dude that has a part. emage kills it. they do all kinds of events. I also recall them doing some sort of skate school in the summer with a bunch of donated boards to give to the kids. all i ever got when i went into 303 was a dude trying to sell me rictas when i had already asked for spitfires. It all has to do with personal preferences. if you wanna go somewhere and spend $303 to get a free deck 303 is probably your shop. That said the only events i went to in denver were either put on by emage or skatecolorado

Everything at emage cost more and there’s less selection. That’s why skaters are more down to push uphill to 303 than one block to emage. *303 has a point system so you get free shit all the time

half of 303's selection is products you could buy at zumiez. i dont know what youre talking about with the selection. the free shit isnt even good. Unless youre cool with getting 8 colors of the same zigzag rip off logo

I use to be friends with a few guys in Denver and Boulder area they were snowboarder/skater types they had a wooden bowl in a warehouse, called the Fallen bowl they've moved since then but they also had a shop called Thrifty Stick had that Welcome newer shapes and whatnot it was rad they had a miniramp as well it was off Broadway away from downtown it was a trek but definitely worth it. 303 boards to me they had thunder and foundation TumYeto boards, at least that was around 05' to 09'.

Every shop in the USA is mostly stuff you can buy a zumiez because zumiez sells pretty much every brand in the industry. Unless you are a hardcore numbers fan, wtf do you buy thats not available at zumiez?
Also, the shop where I'm from in Michigan (plus) gave boards at $500, so getting a free board at $300 is a step up from that. And an even bigger step up from not getting a free board at all.

dpark will turn you into a pile, be careful
thrifty stix is now 720 and the mini ramp on broadway is gone

Yeah I left before it got weird, sometime around early 2009.
I miss the place and the scenery however, it’s best to do it’s own thing. Too many memories and it sucks.
Thrifty Stick was rad no drama, the 2006 KOTR was in my backyard with Darkstar and Baker OG crew came through, rad times btw.
I got into a scrap with a few of those WB kooks. At the time I had gotten my ass beat long beforehand so when it came to scrapping at Streets of London I was always there looking for a good row.
Dudes at that house we’re skeazy, I had been friends with the red head twins sweets and some other guy not sure his name. They said they had a basement apartment I could pay for and I just gave them $300 a month for that spot, sounds good right?! Nope full of black mold and shit. Fuck that place!

to each his own. bottom line is money isnt an issue (im not going to ride the free board either way), I know what i want (not rictas), and emage has vibes that remind me of the shops id go to growing up. 303 is a tourist shop.
Also D park will most definitely make you a pile. best park for me was dayton in aurora

I know it sounds weird but is it me I liked every other shitty park aside from the Denver park? for instance I liked that park way out off Broadway? like heading away from the big library on the right side it was all green on a tennis court shit had a miniramp also a spine. even this frankenturd of a concrete park
http://www.coskate.com/SkatePark.aspx?Park=COLakewood
http://www.coskate.com/SkatePark.aspx?Park=COLyons
These were my favorite parks, for lowkey and never crowded parks at all, if there were people there it was a good time.

Got good friends that live out there. Ended up befriending Marisa dal Santo so we met and when I was out there she was around the whole time. Pretty much a solid friend at this point. Skate Arvada and Golden parks. Then go see the Rockies for 4.00.

For me when I lived there, it’s the juggalos that either hangout in the center pavilion or the stupid people who try to vibe others at the park.
I just went late at night or ass crack of dawn to rip.

no pegs is the only appealing thing to skate and even then everything needs to be popped out. Skate dayton park instead

i live in CO and saw a "real" juggalo for the first time in like 7 years last week. they got mostly priced out after weed was legalized. also to OP (if you haven't already moved) denver skating is sick lots of good parks and street spots, but if you want "insane hill bombing" then you'll have to head to boulder but that isn't far at all
-
Denver is sick, I spent a week out there a couple years ago. If you skate tranny, you'll be in heaven. They have amazing skateparks, a really sick backyard DIY scene, and a great indoor warehouse. I think we hit 8 skateparks, 5 backyards, and the Rosy bowl in 6 days. I'm lucky though and have good friends out there that were the best tour guides.
-
Do yourself a favor, and get a spot in Golden or Lakewood. The train goes the whole way to Golden from Union station downtown. Golden Park is amazing. Co springs has couple good parks. Basically feels like the PNW with parks in every little town. D park at sunrise is pretty damn good too. Bench trains there too. Tons of autoracks. Boulder is where my heart is, but when I went back to visit in the spring, meta wasn't there anymore. Nederland park. Wait, here's a link for you.

Hill bombing in Denver is weak AF. Its on the plains, not very hilly. SF is the real deal, Cali is better in general for hills. Take a chance in the foothills on those roads, still weaker than SF but you risk getting hit by a deer or elk.

Denver was good when I lived there (2009-2014) right off Colfax (1435 pearl). I skated everywhere, except 16th street mall. I always felt vibed out at the park, but it was always high traffic times. I always really liked the Golden Park and would head up to Breck and ride that park in the summer just to get away and have a better view. Check out the parks in the the mountain towns, if you don't like the Denver park.

I left around Dec 2008 I lived on Clarkson and Colfax those apartments behind Goodtimes I was in the top apt looking down in that parking lot. Denver park for me did get weird for me of course I hit it during peak times but I did find several spots all over the area. Lots of banks and weird shit here and there, I liked the smaller parks aside from Downtown park.

Such a key area to live in. I felt like there was always spots on my way to find spots that by the time I got to where I wanted to skate, I was ready to leave and head back just to hit the spots again. It felt like you could have like an hour long line just skating around. I had a pretty fun line on my way to the Auraria Campus.

That's actually sad for me, ah oh well I use to go there after a heavy session and pig out afterwards.
I use to go to other parks outside of the area and street spots tons of banks and other ledges. I miss Denver but holy shit is it expensive these days.

Cap Hill has a bunch of great little dumb spots. More dork around spots than anything else but fun for sure.

Brothers Boards for life!
There was also a tiny little shop on the Hill in Boulder in the late 90s. Beside the Dairy Queen corner spot. I was up to no good at the time and traded the older guy that worked there for product a lot. Never paid cash. Always wondered what happened to that guy, but I forget his name.
Also got the natural concepts him up through dude from Brothers around 98-99 too. He rented me his apartment above the sub shop on the Hill, overlooking circle K had station. But after a month or so, the landlord showed up and said we had paid a guy who was already evicted, and we had to get out immediately. Dude was long gone to Cali. Maybe he was a filmer?

Check out the parks in the the mountain towns, if you don't like the Denver park.
I left around Dec 2008 I lived on Clarkson and Colfax those apartments behind Goodtimes I was in the top apt looking down in that parking lot. Denver park for me did get weird for me of course I hit it during peak times but I did find several spots all over the area. Lots of banks and weird shit here and there, I liked the smaller parks aside from Downtown park.
I'm pretty sure they demolished that goodtimes recently :(
That's actually sad for me, ah oh well I use to go there after a heavy session and pig out afterwards.
I use to go to other parks outside of the area and street spots tons of banks and other ledges. I miss Denver but holy shit is it expensive these days.
They did not demolish it. We just got shakes from there when we visited for old times sake. Gave a little hello to Sanchos
