Went to this spot right after work. On paper it rules. Bank, ledge, not a bust, can skate whenever,etc. In reality it sucks. Cracks, bikers, weird approaches, etc. Anyways, I forced myself to dork around for a bit. Got a basic warm up line of switch front nose to forward, back smith stall, front board pop out. Tried some crooks up the little escalator. Dave showed. We tried a few things. Then we left.

After dinner and some football with Ollie, Nolan and I rolled to Broomfield park. It was pretty warm and somehow almost no one was there. It was crazy. Nolan and I started on the quartapotty area. It wasn’t long before he got gnar enough that I wanted to film it for a null post. Then we got a few more things (like the nosegrind above). Aki showed up around then. Everyone else seemed to leave and we pretty much had the park all to ourselves. Hit the black ledge/tiny rail/ brick qp for awhile. Nolan rattled off a bunch of tricks like switch nosegrind 180, switch front 5-0, etc. Aki worked on nose manuals for awhile and got one. He also did a front board to fakie on the flat bar. I had a crooks tapper on the qp, boardslides down the rail, crooks on the ledge, front 50 shove and front 5-0 on the ledge. Nolan tried dark slides for awhile. Aki did a bunch of blunts to fakie on the quartapotty. I got close, but did not do a nosegrind on the blue ledge. I was too sore to keep trying. Fun night.
