skate journal: short broomfield park with john (Aug 13, 2012)
I was still tired from the long family vacation, but got some stuff done and the kids were playing with friends. John got off work at Meta and picked me up to head to Broomfield. The park had a bunch of lurkers, but not many people actually skating. John said he was tired too, but he was ripping. We mostly skated the black ledge after a few minutes of cruising around to warm up. He’s got a lot of rad switch noseslide tricks. He had a super sick run of ollie over the rail, front 50 the smile ledge then “nollie back tail” the black ledge. He almost did some front 50 back 180s out the proper way too. I got my first front 5-0 shove out in awhile, boardslid the little rail a bunch, got a few really slow back 50s, and comitted to front nosegrinds on the black ledge which would be the first time I’ve ever tried it on something of normal ledge height. Decent, quick session. Oh yeah, I had a new ‘Bottom of the Well” 8.38 deck and new 52 mm supers. Felt good!
