Regardless of the 30-degree climate, all of the homies confirmed as much as get pleasure from some bands, beers, movies and free vibes. There was even a giant shock for 2 of the attendees.

Time to let the suds fly

the drill

When you can stoke out the youth, you gotta be doing one thing proper. Enormous because of everybody who made this evening occur and to all people who got here out to assist the store and the scene. Shout out to Yeti, Voodoo Ranger, New Belgium Brewing (we see you, Dave), Roger Skate Co. and Empire Storage and Management Room. Oh, and shout out to me for penning this occasion publish. I believe I did an amazing job. And should you’re questioning who David Langston and Reese Barton are and why we turned them professional, hold your eyes glued to this website, as each of them have video components (hell, David has two) dropping quickly. Later, skaters. See you on the sixteenth anniversary occasion. Hopefully my COVID PTSD can have chilled out a bit by then.
