Right after dinner Carleigh swooped me up and we headed to Broomfield park. Carleigh started in the pool with her girl friend rippers. I’m scared of that thing. I saw Carleigh carve over the stairs pretty quick. I started on the Quartapotty and blue box. Jake and Matt showed. They had skated Safeway ledge. Fun! Jake tried a line of boardslide to fakie the little rail then halfcab noseslide. Matt did a few lines, I saw a front lip the rail then back nosegrind the black ledge. I think I did boardslide then back 50 or crooks. Then we played a game of SKATE. We all got the first kickflip and back shove, but after that it got ugly. I missed the next four tricks, Jake and Matt missed 2 of them. Front shove, fakie flip, heelflip and treflip. I was pretty much ready to leave at that point, but got another turn and did 3 tricks in a row and somehow ended up winning. Ha. f/s halfcab flip, b/s halfcab flip and fakie bigflip. Matt crook bonked everything in the park. Jake learned varial flips. I did some fakie front smith to fakies on the quartapotty. I hadn’t done that there before. Carleigh did the pole jam and almost kickflipped the 6, but settled for an ollie down the double set. At that point my body was starting to shut down. The pain in my groin was bad with every ollie. After messing with some ledge basics I tried Dave’s trick on the mellow bank until I got one. Then I tried it with a Judo kick. That would be so cool I bet. Carleigh got close to back disasters. Other people were ripping. Darin showed which was great.
