skate journal: Broomfield park with Matt, Shaun and Carleigh (Oct 6, 2011)
A pretty cool night. I got to the park and started out with just a long sleeve, but had to add the hoodie as the wind was really cold. No beanie of course. I’m doing my best to not wear one this year as they remind me of cold. Maybe I should rock one in the summer like Jack and Fuzz then it would remind me of summer. If only it were that simple. Anyways, some dude was posted up in dropin on the quartapotty for a good solid 15 minutes. A big dude with big DC shoes on just trying to get up the courage to dropin on that huge two foot quarter pipe. He eventually just gave up. Matt and Shaun were beat from a whole day of skating, but they still shredded. Back to back back 180s down the back to back 3 sets. Matt had a nice back smith on the unhappy ledge. I skated ok. Flip tricks were coming easy. 3 flip, frontside halfcab flip. Front feeble on the quartapotty is one of my favs. I could not nose manual the blue ledge. I tried a bunch of kick back tails and failed. Carleigh arrived and was super tired, but in a good mood. She ended up staying til the end even though she didn’t want to. Matt, Shaun and Rich left a little early and most of the park cleared out. I tried to ollie up onto the happy ledge and bs flip off, but my ollie’s haven’t been on point since my knee pain and I struggled at it. Had a good time.
