After work I skated flatground in front of the house for awhile. Josh told me if I did less then 20 flip tricks I would lose against his 5. It took me 3 tries to land a kickflip. I would skate remotely ok. Got most of my basic tricks. Hucked ones I can’t land because it felt better then not landing tricks I’m supposed to land. Got really close to nollie f/s flip which I’ve never landed. Landed on halfcab heels both ways, fakie tre, nollie tre, but didn’t get them. Had a few treflips.
Then I went to Broomfield to meet Carleigh, Fuzz and Darin. I arrived first to a very crowded skatepark. I didn’t let it get to me though and was having fun and felt warmed up quickly. I don’t remember doing anything special, but I was happy with how I was skating. This wouldn’t last long though. I started losing pop quickly. Carleigh showed and rattled off tricks on the brick qp. Fuzz showed around the time several carloads of grown men with beards and rollerblades. It got weird. Everything got waxed. Rollerbladers were flying out of everywhere. We skated the quartapotty area. Doing some rock ‘n roll stalls on the edge of the escalated blue ledge. Carleigh learned front rocks on it and I think back rocks too. She had the best front rocks on the quartapotty. Soon I slammed really bad on a back 50 attempt on the blue box. I don’t really know how. Fuzz was flying around ripping. It was great to see. Front board to fakie the angled brown ledge. I got crooks on it. Carleigh was ollieing on to the escalated blue ledge. I got a few crooks down it. I slammed really hard on a switch front noseslide attempt. Ugh. Darin showed. I was trying front 50 shove out on the black ledge and failing. Took awhile and got halfcab noseslide. Fuzz was having heart issues and chilled. Carleigh and I skated flat for awhile. She had a lot of good kickflilps. I had a lot of missed b/s flips. It cleared out, Carleigh did 20 back disasters on the brick qp then left to tend to her cat. Darin was trying back tail shoves on the blue box, a guy named Justin was trying kick back tails on the black ledge. I started hucking halfcab flip noseslides on the blue ledge. Fuzz joined in on the fun with noseslide to crook attempts. He had a really funny slam doing the splits across the box. Darin got his first and it was sick. Justin was next. Darin also did front blunt and back noseblunt on the quartapotty. Wow. Then I ate complete shit on the halfcab flip noseslide. I was getting really close, but wasn’t up on it. It got in, but fell under. I did a horrible dance to save my ribs and messed up my shoulder. That was it for me. We watched Justin rip the bar. As I type this I don’t know how bad my shoulder is. It’s not so bad I need to go to the doctor, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to skate much for a few days. And I have a 3 day weekend. And the weather is perfect. Argh!
