skate journal: Broomfield Park with Fuzz and Neil (Sept 24, 2010)
Neil and I went and looked at the new Lafayette park being built. Wow, it’s crazy looking. I took some photos which I’ll post soon. After that we went to Crisis (more photos coming soon) and watched Stay Gold and watched Fuzz and Carleigh hang up some skate photos. Then it was skate time. The park was somewhat crowded, but it was warm out and a good vibe. It’s funny seeing all the kids flock to Fuzz now since he’s the new shop owner and they all want their free stickers and sponsorship. He handled it well except breaking his brand new Null deck on a flatground kickflip. So funny. It was such a bad kickflip, but all the kids were like “Wow, I’m not gonna get a Null, that’s bad”. Ha. Fuzz was trying so hard to be like “No, it’s just me, I’m fat and I landed bad”. It was cracked bad, but he ended up skating it backwards and still ripped. After some cruising around we ended up at the blue pad area for quite awhile. Neil and Fuzz worked on and landed bluntslides after doing front d’s from low to high on the porta potty (little pool coping qp) to hubba. I was playing around and got a good line for me. Manual, front feebs, back 5-0. Then I started working on halfcab crooks. I got a couple questionable ones before putting a decent (for me) one down where I grinded a couple feet. So hyped on that. Then we all tried crooks on the taller brown ledge. Fuzz succeeded a lot, me once and Neil was close. Then we cruised around doing whatever. I posed a few kickflips over the rail, but didn’t have the commit feeling at all. Not much happened after that. Super fun night though.
