skate journal: Broomfield park (July 15, 2010)
Hot day. Still hot at night and a crowded park. John, Nate, Jack, Carleigh, Jason, Neil, Fuzz, Brian and I collected at the park around 7:30. After some dorking around Fuzz asked what the trick was so we went for ollie up onto the c0nvex ledge and kickflip off. Half an hour after Fuzz I got it too after boardsliding the rail and we went for nosegrinds. I got a bonked version shortly after Fuzz’s first try “I haven’t done that in awhile” one. A few more boardslides of fun later (boardsliding that tiny rail is seriously fun) the next trick for Fuzz and I was kickflip manny on the black ledge. We got up onto it, but neither of us got a real manual. Ok, I wasn’t even close at all. We messed around on the rust ledge for a bit then headed to the six stair where Nate, Fuzz and John all front 50’d the ledge. Nate back 50d the double set one too. So sick. I tried to ollie the six stair after John did it, landed on it, but slammed and Neil had to tell me that he already ollied it and the double set and I shouldn’t have slammed. I was over it after that. After that Nate and I dorked out on the little blue ledge for awhile. He almost got back 180 fakie 5-0 180 out. I got into front blunt and kick back tail, but neither were close. At the end of the session Nate and I played a game of SKATE that got cut off at SKAT – SKAT. So that was my session and since this blog is all about me that’s all that happened. Ha, oh wait here comes the good stuff. Everyone else was ripping. I must say I felt extra burnt out even though I like that park and I just didn’t seem to have much of a desire to really try. Oh well, good stuff..Brian – first try front board, almost feeble down the rail, lots of tricks on the brick qpipe, slams ..Carleigh – boardslides down the little bar, pop shove down the six and two of the best bails I’ve ever seen. Slide out before the six stair and boardslide to powerslide the little rail.Jason – Dropped in right at me and yelled at me for being in the park and trusting that a friend of mine probably wouldn’t run into me. Wrong. Ripped it though. Full speed manual the black box.Neil – front tail and back blunt the bump to bar, buzz kill.Jack – ollie transfer at the top of the wallride/hip thing, front lip late shove, back blunt the double set hubba, nollie tre the 6, a lot moreNate – nollie front shove mannies every try, back 5-0 front shove out, back lip, boardslide up the tiny railFuzz – front blunt the little qpipe, everything i wanted to do first try, no ether though.John – Killed it. bs ollies on the wallride, ollie over the tiny rail into the bank, no comply 270 back tail, so much more he was seriously killing it.Everyone ripped it, if there wasn’t 500 people there I could probably remember more of what my friends did ..
