skate journal: Broomfield park with John and Neil (Sept 21, 2012)
Went to Crisis for awhile, sold some null, hung with Fuzz, laughed a little and then went to the Broomfield park. Almost no one was there when I got there. I pumped around the flow bowl for awhile. That thing is fun. Didn’t really try any tricks then did a few wallrides on the front of the bank/hubba and moved into the street section. John showed up. We did our typical dorking on the blue pad and quartapotty. It was a blast. John had some good nollie back tails. I had a couple short fakie nosegrinds. Wanted to try something out, but never got there. Came close to kickflip 50s. Neil showed up. We all played manual down the angled pad, trick on qp, nose manual up it. Neil got it quick. John got the first 2 easy and maybe the nose manual too. I didn’t get either manual. Then the dudes from Wyoming randomly showed up. Matt Warner in the house! Dude rules. And Shaun too. So fun to watch them shred. They killed it. Neil was also killing it. When he gets in the zone and does laps around the park landing everything it’s super fun to watch. Such a good ollie, his lipslides, front tails, nollie back neil’s, everything. I had a little contest line of boardslide the little rail, crooks the black ledge, front 50 shove the black ledge. Neato. John and Neil started to kind of chill. Shaun had to leave. Matt too. I tried a bunch of f/s nosegrinds on the blue ledge, but didn’t get the nollie out. Did get some back 5-0s though. Still loving the smaller board. The weather was perfect. Sunny around 80 with a little breeze. Fun session. Then I bailed quick to hit 303 and get back in time for dinner. Happy to have a decent skate day after the previous day.
