skate journal: broomfield fun (july 14, 2016 day 196)
Long day of work, stopped by meta to grab a new boards since new Null boards still hadn’t arrived, ate quickly then went and met Garret and Riley at Broomfield park. The park was packed when we got there with lots of awesome people I haven’t seen in awhile. Daryl, Collin, so many more I’m not remembering in my delirious state. I hadn’t really even done anything yet when Jake showed up too. So awesome. Everyone was kind of doing their own thing. Riley was doing switch flip switch nose manuals on the blue box. I did a few tricks on the quartapotty before joining Jake on the black box. He was rattling off tricks. Front tail, front 5-0, front 50 to front board, etc. I was stuck on front 50s. Argh. Although crooks were working pretty well. Tried to do a line of front 50 front 180 out then fakie flip out of the bank. Moved on to front 50 shove and came closer to the line. Jake also got fakie back tail. Riley was coming through in the middle of long lines with bangers like back smith down the rail, noseblunt on the brick qp, switch flip nose manuals, switch heel nose manuals, etc. He was shredding so hard. My shoes were kind of driving me nuts, they have so little board feel. I really got the desire to have better board fell, I might try some vulcs again.
