skate journal: broomfield park and darin’s ramp on jake’s birthday (jan 23, 2016 day 23)
Feeling lazy on a Saturday morning (Liz’s fault) I eventually headed to Broomfield park with birthday boy Jake to meet Riley, Carlie, Ladd and Nolan. We started on the quarterpotty where Jake quickly did 31 tricks. I did quite a few too, but not that many. Nolan would come later and warm up with 25 tricks in 10 minutes on the quarterpotty. Ha. It ruled seeing Riley skate again. Jake and I played a game of SKATE while Ladd and Riley played two games. Ours was way better though. Ha. Actually though we both landed a lot of tricks that we both don’t normally land. 360 flip, heelflip, f/s flip. I struggled with a bunch of tricks, but ended up winning with double flip. Our game took a really long time. After that I did a varial flip on the blue bank. I figured since there were no steeper banks I would at least do it on the one that you had to ollie onto. But it turns out I never hit record. Doh.
Then we went to Darin’s ramp for what would be a totally awesome session. Darin, Dave and Adam were already skating. Everyone seemed to skate really good. I took a long time to land a front d revert and also got a bean plant to tail and my second every creeper which was really fun. Watching Nolan and Riley shred was so awesome. Everyone got along and seemed hyped on the great weather. It ruled. Carliegh did like 100 back disasters and may have landed a backside blunt after Jake and I left. Dave was floating backside and frontside ollies, doing a bunch of plants again, everything. Darin got mad tricks. Ladd almost got blunt kickflip to fakie. Adam pops out of his blunts so high. Riley did a front nosegrind across the whole ramp. Nolan did everything including a blunt treflip to fakie.
